N compiling the present history, two brief works on 
the same subject, viz : the Quackenbush chapter in 
Talcott's " New York and New England Families," 
and Richard Wynkoop's ** Genealogical Notes on the Quacken- 
bos Family," have been taken as a basis, subject to such cor- 
rections as were deemed necessary in the light of recent re- 
search. The lineages as traced by these Vv^riters have been 
considerably developed, how^ever, by the addition of everything 
obtainable concerning individual members of the Quackenbush 
or Quackenbos family, and in almost every case the baptismal 
and marriage records have been verified by comparison with 
accurate transcriptions of the several church registers. Mili- 
tary and naval records, obtained from official sources, have 
been inserted in the text, as well as numerous traditions, taken 
from local histories or communicated by descendants of the 
principals, but there has been no attempt at systematic bio- 
graphical notices except in the cases of professional men. 

The original researches of the compiler have resulted in 
the classification of about one thousand members of the family 
in America not contained in the Talcott and Wynkoop histories, 
but it is regretted that, owing to a lack of co-operation on the 
part of many persons to whom circulars of inquiry were ad- 
dressed, the latest generations are necessarily incomplete. Of 
the total number of such circulars, forwarded and known to 
have reached their destinations, but twenty per cent, have 
brought replies, and consequently it has not been possible to 
identify several hundred of the living members of the family, 
who are known by name.

The information embodied in the first chapter of this 
history concerning the van Quackenbosch family in Holland was 
obtained from the old Dutch manuscripts as a result of the in- 
vestigations of an agent abroad, Herr A. A. Vorsterman van 
Oijon. The coat-of-arms was discovered almost simultaneously 
in Holland and America, and as there is nothing to indicate 
that the families in both countries were not of the same origin, 
its authenticity can scarcely be doubted. 

It is desired at this time to acknowledge the compiler's 
obligation to all of those who have contributed in any way to 
the Quackenbush annals. Bible and family records of especial 
value have been received from Miss Clarrise Jane Ackart, 
Schaghticoke, N. Y. ; Mrs. Eben Erksine Olcott, N. Y. City ; 
Mrs. Cebra Quackenbush, Hoosac, N. Y. ; Mr. Peter Quacken- 
bush, Paterson, N. J. ; Professor John Duncan Quackenbos, 
N. Y. City, and Mrs. John Englis, Brooklyn, N. Y. 

For practical suggestions and assistance in research the 
compiler is indebted to Mr. J. J. Helston-Rix, Secretary of the 
United States Legation at the Hague ; Mr. Lars S. Reque, Con- 
sul General of the United States at Rotterdam ; Mr. John R. 
Planten, Consul General of the Netherlands at New York ; Mr. 
Theodore M. Banta, Secretary, and Mr. Diedrich Versteeg, 
translator of the Holland Society of New York. 

An appendix has been added containing such names as 
were received too late for insertion in the text, but all names, 
including those in the appendix, will be found in the general 
index.

]XTENSIVE researches in the archives of various cities 
and towns of Holland have disclosed comparatively 
few facts concerning the family of van Quacken- 
bosch, but those which have been brought to light are of such 
significance that much can be learned from them, both directly 
and by inference. 

The Hollanders were ever noted for their precise records of 
vital statistics, especially after the middle ages, when almost 
every town as well as every church had its archivist. This 
being the case, the rarity of the name van Quackenbosch in 
the town and church registers of that period would seem to 
indicate that the family was numerically small. In support of 
this theory it may be stated that although the family never 
lived, so far as is known, outside of the small area including 
the city of Leiden and its suburbs Oegstg^eest, Valkenburgh, 
etc., it is officially declared that the name is entirely extinct in 
that district today, and probably does not exist in any other 
part of Holland. Mr. Lars S. Reque, the United States Consul 
at Rotterdam, has written in this connection : 

I have made numerous inquiries in regard to the Quacken- 
bos or Quackenbosch or Quackenbush family, or branch of it, 
supposed to be in Holland, but have hitherto failed to discover 
any trace of the Quackenbosch name. I have especially made 
inquiries at Leiden and have been assured by the proper offi- 
cials of that city that the name does not exist there. 



8 GENEALOGY OF THE 



And referring to a communication he had received from the 
Burgomaster of Oegstgeest, Mr. Reque continues : 

It is evident that the name of Quackenbos, Quackenbosch 
or Quackenbush is quite unknown at Oegstgeest, as it appears 
that the Burgomaster took it for granted that Schakenbos was 
meant. 

According to authorities on Dutch orthography, however, 
the present spelling of the name would be *' Kwackenbosch, " 
as it has become almost universal among Hollanders to employ 
"Kw" for "Qu," but this modernized form is likewise un- 
known in Holland, the nearest approach to it being Schaken- 
bosch, which is so radically different that it may well be as- 
sumed to refer to a distinct family. 

Although the van Quackenbosch family does not appear 
to have been numerous in its native city of Leiden, its patrician 
character is sufficiently established by the important civil 
offices to which several of the name were appointed, and by 
their use of coat-armour at a time when heraldy was an impor- 
tant and accepted institution throughout Europe. The prefix 
" van " however, does not in itself signify rank, as is commonly 
believed by Americans, and must not be confused with the 
"von" of the Germans, which invariably implies a title. 
" Van " has no particular significance, but is used indiscrimi- 
nately in Holland by persons in every station, although it was 
doubtless used originally in its true sense, as meaning " of " or 
"from," and denoted the territorial derivation of a name. 
Applying this meaning in the present case, and translating 
" Quackenbosch " literally as derived from " quakken " — to 
croak like a frog, and " bosch " — a bush or thicket— the name 
would imply that the family had lived in the vicinity of a patch 
of woods where frogs were especially numerous and noisy. It 
is quite possible that the name originated in this way, as 
family names were not in use in northern Europe until the 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 



15th Century, and it was anciently the custom to have a given 
name only, and to distinguish individuals by referring to their 
father's names, their trades, or to some peculiar feature of the 
neighborhood in which they lived. 

It is a matter of record, however, that the name van 
Quackenbosch, not differing by so much as a single let- 
ter from the form employed by one of the progenitors of the 
family in America, was known in Leiden as early as the 15th 
Century, or two hundred years before Pieter Quackenbosch 
left Oegstgeest for New Netherlands. The fact that a name 
so unusual should appear without variation in the two coun- 
tries, and the positive knowledge that Pieter Quackenbosch 
had lived in the Leiden district before his emigration would 
seem to justify the belief that the Leiden and New Netherlands 
families were generally the same, and in the absence of docu- 
mentary proof must be accepted as the basis for such an 
assumption. It is a matter of regret that the single link that 
would definitely establish this connection has not as yet been 
discovered. 

References to the van Quackenbosches of the 15th and 
and 16th Centuries appear in the " Leiden Armorial," an elab- 
orate publication issued in 1785, and containing a list of fami- 
lies which had been identified with the city administration, to- 
gether with genealogical annotations and plates of 792 coats 
of arms. From this authoritative source it is learned that one 
Aelbert van Quackenbosch (I), who doubtless was born several 
years prior to the discovery of America by Columbus, 
was the progenitor of a branch of the family which extended 
in an unbroken line through six generations, terminating in 
the records with the family of Pieter Gerritzoon van Quacken- 
bosch, who died in 1640. 

In Aelbert van Quackenbosch ( 1 ) the family is carried 
back to the period of Burgundian rule, established by the bril-

10 GENEALOGY OF THE 

liant Philip ( 1419-1467) who founded the Order of the Golden 
Fleece, as symbolical of the scource of his great power and 
wealth, the weaving industry of the Netherlands. Under 
Philip of Burgundy the state enjoyed an era of unprecedented 
prosperity, but it was at the expense of individual liberty, and 
therefore unstable. Philip was succeeded in 1467 by his son 
Charles the Bold, who ruled with even greater severity than 
his father until he met his death at Nancy ten years later. 
Charles's death was the peoples's opportunity. The French King 
seized Burgundy, compelling Mary, the daughter and heir of 
Charles to call upon the Netherlanders for aid, and thus the rep- 
resentatives of native families were recognized as an influence 
in politics. Certain demands of the people were acceded to in 
a charter entitled " het Groot Privilegie, " which document has 
been termed " one of the foundation stones in the edifice of 
Dutch freedom, " since by its provisions no demand of the 
King was to prevail against the town charters ; none but na- 
tives could hold office, and only the Dutch language was to be 
used in public documents. 

Another great event in the history of the Netherlands 
which Aelbert van Quackenbosch must have witnessed was the 
introduction of the Bible in the language of the people, which 
was accomplished in 1477 in spite of the opposition of kings 
and priests. From that moment the influence of the church 
of Rome was doomed in Holland, as was also the absolute power 
of monarchs. 

Nothing is learned from the records concerning the per- 
sonal history of Aelbert van Quackenbosch, however, save that 
he had a son Dirk (2) who, according to the Leiden Armorial, 
was living in 1529. The name Dirk or Derick or Dirck, now 
forming the last syllables of Frederick and Theoderick, is sug- 
gestive of the days of feudalism, when seven of the Counts 
who ruled Holland between the years 922 and 1299 bore that 
name. 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 11 

From the dates of his descendants it is computed that 
Dirk Aelbertszoon van Quackenbosch was born about the year 
1500. He is the first of the name known to have employed the 
van Quackenbosch arms, and an engraving of the shield used 
by him on Sept. 17th, 1529, appears in the " Leiden Armorial." 
It is conjectured from this precise date and the absence of 
crest and motto that it was used as a seal on that occasion and 
attached to a legal document. 

Holland was now under Charles V, during whose reign 
there was a wonderful revival of learning, the direct result of 
the introduction of printing, the publication of the Bible in 
the Dutch language, and the discovery of America. The year 
1529 marked the birth of Protestantism, when the followers of 
Luther " protested " against the act of the Diet of Speyer, 
which decreed against all ecclesiastical changes. 

Dirk Aelbertszoon van Quackenbosch had a son Aelbert (3) 
whose children, the 4th generation of record, are named as fol- 
lows : 

4. Gerrit, 

5. Machteld (Mntilda), 

6. Sander, 

7. Aefje (Eva). 

Of these, Gerrit Aelbertszoon van Quackenbosch (4) was a 
clothier at Leiden, and married Catyn van de Graft Jacobs- 
dochter, who is named in a notarial deed of Nov. 9th, 1578. 
The motto " Vrede in Rykdom" (Peace in Wealth) first appears 
in the coat of arms used by Gerrit Aelbertszoon van Quacken- 
bosch. Their children were : 

8. Adriana, who married Jacob Corneliszoon van Lemsveld, 
Burgemeester. Her .name appears in the record of transac- 
tions v/ith notaries during 1589.

9. Pieter. 

5. Machteld Aelbertsdochter van Quackenbosch, daughter 
of Aelbert (3) married Jonge Garrebrant Meesz of Oude Nierop, 
who was a member of the City Council of Leiden in 1574. 

6. Sander van Quackenbosch, second son of Aelbert (3), 
married Cornelia Bouwensdochter. He died in 1596 and was 
buried April 15th of that year in St. Peter's churchyard, 
Leiden. 

Sander van Quackenbosch was a member of the City Coun- 
cil of Leiden during the seige of 1574 when the Spaniards un- 
der Valdez, strongly intrenched in 66 forts with which they had 
surrounded the city, maintained such a rigid blockade that for 
five months no help could reach the besieged. At this stage, 
when famine and plague were raging in Leiden, W^illiam of 
Orange, and his advisers met at Rotterdam and resolved to cut 
through the great sea dykes at Schiedam and Delfshaven and 
flood the twenty miles of rich farming country between those 
points and the besieged city. This project was quickly carried 
out to the utter demoralization of the Spanish army, and Lei- 
den was relieved. A favoring wind shortly afterward drove 
back the water and the dykes were repaired. As a reward for 
the valor and constancy displayed on that occasion the people 
of Leiden were given the choice of exemption from taxes or a 
great University, and chose the latter. 

7. Aef je (Eva) van Quackenbosch, second daughter of Ael- 
bert (3), was born in 1537 and married Gerard van Hoogeveen, 
who was born August 8th, 1524, and was Landlord of Hooge- 
veen, pensionary of Leiden and Curator of the Leiden Univer- 
sity. 

Eva van Quackenbosch died at Leiden, Dec. 13th, 1608, and 
was buried in St. Peter's churchyard. Her husband died Dec. 
7th, 1580. Their family consisted of 18 children. 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 13 

Of the 5th generation Pieter van Quackenbosch (9) was 
appointed sheriff of Leiden in 1604 and celebrated his " Twenty 
Years' Jubilee " Aug. 29th, 1624. He died Jan. 20th, 1640. 
His wife's name is unknown. Their children, the 6th genera- 
tion of record, are named as follows : 

10. Gerrit van Quackenbosch, chairmaker of Leiden ; mar- 
ried 1st, Feb. 7th, 1621, Brechtje Thymansdochter vander- 
Ben, married 2nd, Lucretia van Endoven, widow of Peter Joijt, 
of Amsterdam, in 1637. 

11. Tryntje Pietersdochter van Quackenbosch married Oct. 
2nd, 1625, Fogt Corneliszoon van Egmond, son of Cornells van 
Egmond and Neeltje Pietersdochter van Schaaick. 

12. Cornells Pieterszoon van Quackenbosch married Jan. 
23rd, 1628, at Leiden, Lysbeth van Cortenbosch, daughter of 
Jan van Cortenbosch and Barbara Gysbertsdochter. He died 
in 1635. 

Cornells Pieterszoon van Quackenbosch was appointed 
Sheriff in his father's place Dec. 30th, 1627, and in 1635, after 
the death of Cornells, his father again applied for the office. 

The following annotations, gathered from various sources 
in Holland, refer to members of the family who have not been 
identified, and are given because of the possibility that future 
research will establish the relationship between the persons 
named and Pieter Quackenbosch, the earliest American ances- 
tor. The items from the catalogues of Groningen and Leiden 
Universities are of especial interest, in that they both refer 
to a student named Pieter Quackenbosch, although it is ex- 
tremely probable that the references are to one and the same 
student, who, after studying at Leiden, began a course in the- 
ology at Groningen. This student was born in 1639, and ac- 
cording to the present Librarian of Groningen University must 
have left in 1659 without completing his course, as he does not 
seem to have taken any final examinations. The strong prob- 



14 GENEALOGY OF THE 

ability, therefore, is that this young student, restless and 
anxious about his future, had learned of an expedition starting 
for the New World and hastened to join it, and so reached New- 
Netherlands about 1660. 

Dr. W. N. de Rieu, Librarian of the University of Leiden, 
reports : 

Pieter van Quackenbosch, who is inscribed in the Album of 
Leiden Students, 31 October, 1651, at the age of 12 years, 
dwelt here with Pieter Quackenbosch, probably his father, 
dwelling on the Canal New Rhine. 

Mr. J. W. G. Van Haarst, Librarian of the University of 

Groningen, writes : 

I have the honor to tell you that I have found, in the 
Album Studiosorum Academiae Gronigenae, 17 Jan., 1659, 
Petrus Quackenbosch, Leidensis, Theol. I have not found 
other references to this student ; he seems to have not passed 
any examinations here. 

From Leiden records : 

July 7, 1642, Henrik Barchley, born at Rostock, Germany, 
cloth-sherer, married Adriaantgen (Adriana) Mouringsdochter 
van Quackenbosch, born at Valkenburgh, daughter of Mour- 
ingh van Quackenbosch and Maertgie Cornelisdochter. 

1735 or 1735, Samuel Quakkenbosh married to Marytje 
Jonkkals, Quartermaster in the East India Company (Chamber 
of Delft), deceased, while sailing homeward off Batavia on 
board the " Heemstede." He left two minor sons, Samuel and 
Gerrit. 

From Oegstgeest records : 

May 7, 1679, Jasper Janszoon Quackenbosch from Valken- 
burgh married Tryntje Teunisdochter van der Byl, from 
Catwyk aan den Ryn. Both residing at Oegstgeest. 

March 27, 1682, confession of faith of Jasper Janszoon van 
Quackenbosch, who died April 26, 1700. 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 15 

April 29, 1695, are registered Jeremias Janszoon Quacken- 
bosch from Valkenburgh and Pieternelltje Leenderts van 
Rhyn, from Soeterwoude, residing at Oegstgeest. Attestation 
is delivered for the marriage at Voorburg. 

May, 1696, Mouringh Janszoon Quackenbosch, from Val- 
kenburgh, residing at Oegstgeest, married Neeltje Jansdochter 
van Leeuwen, from Oegstgeest.

ESTGEEST, or Oegstgeest, the village from whence 
Pieter Quackenbosch emigrated to America, lies ad- 
jacent to the city of Leiden in Lower Rhineland, 
and is now so much a part of the city that the principal railway 
station of Leiden is within the Oestgeest limits. The nearest 
port of departure is Delfshaven, and to have reached the ship 
which v/as to bear him to New Netherlands Pieter Quacken- 
bosch must have journeyed from Leiden to Delft by way of the 
canal— once known as the River Schis— which connects those 
cities, thus following the same route that the Pilgrims had 
traveled some 40 years earlier, when they joined the " Speed- 
well", which was to transfer them to the "Mayflower" at 
Southampton. 

As it exists today, Oegstgeest is a quiet village of about 
4000 inhabitants, many of whom, favored by the unusual rich- 
ness of the soil, successfully operate small farms and gardens. 
A single village street leads directly to Leiden, and a steam 
tram-way connects with the outlying towns. The houses are 
generally of the Dutch type, built of brick, with tiled roofs 
and large windows containing many small panes of glass. 
Topographically, however, Oestgeest is far from being a typi- 
cal Dutch village, as it is built on comparatively high and un- 
dulating ground, whereas the greater part of Holland is flat 
and actually below the level of the sea. 

In olden times, according to the historians, Adrianus, 
Junius and Dousa, Oestgeest was called " Kerkwerve," mean- 
ing " churchgreen " and derived its name from the most notable 
feature of the landscape, a verdure-clad knoll, upon the top of 
which stood a small church. This knoll, mound-like in appear- 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 17 

ance, is of about the same elevation as the Tower of Spaarn- 
dam, visible in the distance, and from its crest may be obtained 
an uninterrupted view of the surrounding country for many 
miles. 

The ancient church at Kerkwerve, built on the foundations 
of an old Roman castle, is alluded to in early manuscripts as 
the " Church of St. Willebrord," and is said to have been 
founded by that missionary during the 8th Century, when he 
went over from England to preach the gospel among the Fris- 
ians. The present building, belonging to the Classis of Leiden, 
is thought to have been erected on the same Roman foundation 
early in the 13th century. It is a brick structure, and the com- 
bination of Gothic roof and buttresses with the Norman round- 
arched windows is consistent with the 13th Century architec- 
ture. 

Other buildings of Oestgeest which are of historical in- 
terest are the Chateau of Poelgeest and Endegeest. The former 
is an imposing structure surrounded by well kept lawns and 
flower beds, and approached through massive gates which open 
into a picturesque lane. It was for many years the residence 
of the noble family of Wassenaar, from whom Oestgeest was 
purchased by the city of Leiden. 

The Chateau o^ ^ndegeest, situated about one mile north- 
west of Leiden, was one of the many residences of Rene 
Descart^i during his 20 years' sojourn in Holland from 1629 to 
1649. It was the practice of this distinguished philosopher 
when engaged in any special investigation to retire to some 
f acluded spot conveniently near a university, and in Endegeest 
he wrote many of his works. The Chateau was acquired by 
the city of Leiden after the death of the last Baroness of 
Endegeest, in 1895, and is now used as a public insane asylum.

The earliest references to the Arms of van Quackenbosch

and containing the arms of the members of the " Magistra- 
ture" of Leiden. From this source it is learned that Dirk 
Aelbertszoon van Quackenbosch (see (2)) employed the 
shield ae described above on Sept. 17, 1529, and that Gerrit 
Aelbertszoon van Quackenbosch (see (4)) used the shield 
and motto in 1578. The crest and shield appear in a small 
" aquarelle " painted about the middle of the 17th Century, 
and now in the possession of A. A. Vorsterman van Oijen, the 
celebrated Dutch Heraldist and Director of the "van Oijen 
Genealogisch on Heraldisch Archief," who was retained to 
make researches for the van Quackenbosch arms in Holland. 
A copy of this " aquarelle, " painted by Heei- ^an Oijen, is now 
in the possession of the compiler. 

A description of the shield corroborative of the above is 
found in J. B. Rietstap's " Armorial General " as follows :

York. 



iLi\t iFamilg in Amrrira. 




N the light of present information it may be assumed 
that the Pieter van Quackenbosch who had been a 
student at Leiden University at the early age of 12, 
and later a student in theology at Groningen was identical 
with the emigrant Pieter Quackenbosch who reached North 
America about the year 1660 with his wife, infant son and 
sister. 

He was born in 1639, and when in Leiden lived with his 
father Pieter van Quackenbosch, on the Canal New Rhine ; but 
it is probable that he married while still a student — a practice 
by no means uncommon in Holland— and removed to the sub- 
urban village of Oestgeest just prior to his emigration. 

Embarking for the New World about 1660, Pieter Quack- 
enbosch arrived at New Netherlands at the age of 21, endowed 
with a university education, and, from the fact of his purchas- 
ing property soon after arriving, possessed of more means than 
was usual with the Dutch immigrants. He also brought with 
him a well established family name, which is another indica- 
tion that he was of a higher station than the avera^^e early 
settler, as family names were rare in the Colonies, and when 
several persons bore the same baptismal name they were dis- 
tinguished from one another in various ways, such as by their 
trade, their place of residence, or more frequently, by follow- 
ing a custom of great antiquity in Holland and affixing the 
father's name with the addition thereto of " zen," " zoon," 
" se," " sen," etc., meaning son. Thus, Jan Kuyper signified 
John the Cooper ; and Jan Metzlaer, John the Mason ; John 
from Deventer and John from Wyck were known as Jan Van 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 21 

De venter and Jan Van Wyck, and Martin Cornelisse designated 
Martin, the son of Cornelis. 

There is no record of Pieter Quackenbosch having at- 
tempted to settle at New Amsterdam, and he is first heard from 
at Beverwyck, or Albany, where he seems to have gone im- 
mediately upon his arrival in New Netherlands. The unset- 
tled condition of Manhattan under Petrus Stuyvesant may 
have prompted this move, or it may be that Pieter Quacken- 
bosch came to America vAth the single purpose of entering the 
brick business, in which case Albany would be his natural 
destination because of the abundance of suitable clay through- 
out that region. Brick making, a relic of the early Roman oc- 
cupation of Holland, had been a leading Dutch industry for 
ages, because of the clay deposits in the river beds which were 
peculiarly adapted to the manufacture of bricks and tiles. The 
enduring buildings of Holland, which have withstood the 
storms of centuries, are the result of Dutch skill in the manu- 
facture of bricks, and the exquisite " Delft " and other rich 
potteries of today are the natural development of the glazed 
tile of the Hollanders. 

As a majority of the colonists had been tempted to Amer- 
ica by the offer of the West India Company of a free passage 
to " farmers and laborers," very few were qualified to enter 
the pursuit of brick making, and it is not strange therefore, 
that Pieter Quackenbosch, a man of education, should have 
chosen a business that was essentially Dutch and especially 
promising in a new country, and which required, in addition to 
capital, an intimate knowledge of the chemical and physical 
qualities of clays. It is a matter of record that he purchased 
a brick yard in 1668, but prior to that he had leased the same 
property, and it is more than probable that he had established 
brick-kilns immediately upon his arrival in Albany. 

The sons of Pieter Quackenbosch settled in various parts 
of the Mohawk Valley and in the settlements near Albany, and

with each succeeding generation the several branches of the 
family gradually drifted further away, until today the name 
is found from New York to San Francisco, and from Canada to 
Mexico.

1. PIETER QUACKENBOSCH, the earliest ancestor of 
the Quackenbush family in America, came from Oestgeest, near 
Leiden, Holland, about the year 1660, with his wife Maritje 

, and their infant son Reynier. It is probable that he 

did not stop at New Amsterdam, but proceeded at once to Al- 
bany, then called Beverwyck, where his second son Johannes 
was born about 1662. (Pearson's Early Settlers of Albany Co.) 
In 1668 he purchased a brick yard from Adrisen van Ilpendam 
in the town of Beverwyck, as shown by the following deed : 
(Pearson's Early Records of Albany Co.) 

Appeared before us, undersigned, commissaries of Albany, 
etc., Adrisen van Ilpendam, who declares that in true rights, 
free ownership, he grants, conveys, and makes over to Pieter 
Qaackenbosch the brick yard according to the fence thereabout 
set, lying here in the Colony, and by the said Pieter Quacken- 
bosch occupied, according to the right and ownership of the 
ground which he bought and paid for, of madam, the widow of 
the late Johan de Hulter, now wife of Jeronimus Ebbinck, 
according to release of date the 20th of August, 1664, on con- 
dition that said Quackenbos pay yearly a rent of two Carolus 
guilders to the Heer director of the colony according to the 
tenor of the contract therefor, of date the 11th November, 
1657, to which reference is herein made ; and therefor giving 
said Quackenbos, his heirs and successors or assigns, full power 
to dispose thereof as he might do with his patrimonial effects ;

also acknowledging that he is fully paid and satisfied therefor, 
and therefor promising to protect and free the same from all 
trouble and claims as is right, and never more to do nor suffer 
anything to be done against the same, in any manner, on 
pledge of his person and estate, nothing excepted, subject to all 
laws and judges.

The following items concerning Pieter Quackenbosch are 
recorded in the " Annals of Albany " : 

1669— Dec— Pieter Quackenbos was paid for 25 tiles 3:15 
for Domine Schaet's house. 

1682— Dec— Pieter Quackenboss paid for the use of the 
large pall. 

1684 — Dec— Peter Quackenboss was paid for 7,000 bricks 
170g. 

Maritje, the wife of Pieter Quackenbosch probably died in 
Dec, 1682, when the " large pall" was used, indicating than an 
adult member of the family had been buried.

QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 25 



2. MARITJE QUACKENBOSCH, from the fact of her 
having two children married in 1689, must have herself mar- 
ried as early as 1665, and probably was born about 1645. This 
would indicate that she was about six years younger than 
Pieter (1), and she is therefore assumed to ha^e been his sister. 
It is probable that she came from Holland with her brother 
and his family, perhaps to join her future husband, who had, 
according to his own deposition, lived in Houten, Province of 
Utrecht, Holland. 

(The facts here presented concerning the husband and 
children of Maritje Quackenbosch were contributed by Frank 
J. Conkling, Esq., of Brooklyn, N. Y., author of " Martin Van 
Buren and the Van Buren Family," published in the N. Y. 
Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol. XXVHL) 

Marten Cornelisse van Beuren was born in Houten, Holland, 
and came to America with his parents, Cornelis Maase and 
Catalyntje Martens, who sailed in the ship ** Rensselaerswyck " 
during the summer of 1631, and settled at Popskenes, a little 
below Greeubush in the Colony of Rensselaerswyck. He was 
presumably married to Maritje Quackenbosch in 1662, when 
he sold his house, barn, etc., located this side of Bethlehem, to 
Gysbert Cornelisse Van den Berg. In 1665 he leased half of 
Constapel's Island, in the Hudson River below Albany. He 
and his wife Maritje were members of the Dutch Church at 
Albany in 1683, and were enrolled as having joined previous 
to that year. In December, 1683, Marten Cornelisse Van 
Beuren paid the church for the use of the " large pall," indi- 
cating that he had lost an adult member of his family. This 
was probably Maritje, his wife, as there is nothing further of 
record concerning her, and on May 7, 1693, " Marten Cor- 
nelisse, widower of Maritje Quackenbosch," was married to 
Tanneke Adams, widow of Pieter Winne.

REYNIER VAN QUACKENBOSCH came to New Nether- 
lands with his father from Oestgeest, near Leiden, Holland. He 
probably lived in Albany prior to his first marriage, which oc- 
curred in New York city, Feb. 11, 1674, after which he settled in 
the vicinity of Schenectady. It is told traditionally that the wife 
and infant of one of the Quackenbush ancestors were slain by 
the Indians in Schenectady, and if this be true the coincidence 



28 GENEALOGY OF THE 

of dates and other circumstances would indicate that Lysbeth 
Hasten and her son Claas (17) were the victims. Their names 
do not appear in the list of those slain on the night of Feb. 8, 
1690, when occurred the memorable burning of Schenectady, 
and the Secretary of New York State, Hon. John Palmer, re- 
ports that there are no records in his office referring to this 
incident ; but the Indians are known to have committed many 
depredations about that time of which no records have been 
preserved. 

Reynier Quackenbosch and his wife Lysbeth Jans Hasten 
are named as "members of the Church of Jesus Christ at New 
Albany " in the year 1683, and three of their children were 
baptized there, as were probably the other two, but this is un- 
certain owing to the destruction of the Albany church records 
covering the period between 1630 and 1683. 

After the death of his first wife Reynier lived in New 
York, as indicated by his marriage there Sept. 13, 1692, to 
Claasje Jacobs Stille, and the baptism of all their children in 
the New York church. He is next heard of at Canastagione, 
on the north branch of the Hohawk river, where he and his 
brother Johannes (4) owned farms. This district is thus de- 
scribed in Schuyler's " Colonial New York " : 

The settlement at Canastagione, on the north bank of the 
Hohawk river, was somewhat distant from another of the 
same name on the south side near Niscayuna. It was made by 
seven farmers, Jean Fort, Jean Rosie, a Frenchman often em- 
ployed as an interpreter on the missions to Canada, Dirk 
Arentse Bratt, two brothers — Jan (4) and Reynier (3) Quack- 
enboss, and the brothers Gerrit Ryckse and Haas Ryckse Van 
Vranken. The farms were located on the interval along the 
river, each having about the same frontage ; behind was an 
unbroken forest. The nearest neighbors were across the river, 
some three miles distant, and at Half Hoon, on the same side 
about five miles below. The settlers chose the wilderness, 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 29 

where they could hold their lands in fee, rather than settle on 
the Manor of Rensselaerwyck under long or perpetual leases. 

In 1703 Jean Fort sent a petition to the Governor for 
some of the wild land back of his farm, but was not successful. 
Three years later the seven farmers joined in an agreement to 
procure what Fort had individually sought in vain. They en- 
tered into an agreement with Col. Peter Schuyler to procure 
for them a patent from the Governor for a tract of land one 
mile in depth lying back of their farms, for which they stipu- 
lated to pay him £50 on delivery of the patent. The instru- 
ment was signed by the several parties except Fort, whose 
wife signed her own name " Margaret, ye wife of Jan Fort, 
Liberte." The paper is still preserved uncancelled by one of 
the descendants of Schuyler. The patent was granted on 
April 20, 1708, and the next year the parties released to each 
other one seventh of the whole. 

The settlement, being on the borders of civilization, was 
not safe from the incursions of unfriendly Indians, and of 
their savage allies, the Canadian French. Gradually the Rosies, 
the Bratts and the Quackenbosses withdrew to safer localities. 

Reynier Quackenbosch died between the years 1708 — the 
date of the Canastagione patent, and 1711, when it is recorded 
that his widow Claasje married Jacob Koning.

Hendrik Beeckman was the son of Maarten Beeckman, a 
blacksmith who came to America in 1638, and Susannah Jans. 
He resided a number of years at Schodac, near Albany, but 
later removed to Somerset Co., N. J. The following descrip- 
tion of his land in New Jersey by Mr. Gansevoort Irwin Allen 
appeared in the N. Y. Gen. and Biog. Rec, Vol. XXVni,p. 56 : 

In 1710, Nov. 13, Octovo Coenraats, a merchant of New 
York City, deeded to Hendrick Beeckman, the above named 
person, two hundred and fifty acres of land on the Raritan 
River, in the County of Somerset, New Jersey. It was part of 
a thousand acre tract, bought by Coenraats of Peter Sonmans, 
by deed dated Jan. 27, 1706, and part of a two thousand three 
hundred acre tract conveyed to Sonmans by deed dated Oct. 
20, 1695, from the Proprietors of East Jersey. This old deed 
to Hendrick Beeckman was never recorded and is now in the 
possession of Mrs. Elizabeth Beekman Vredenburgh, who still 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 33 

owns part of the land described in the deed, which she inher- 
ited from her father Benjamin Beekman and her mother, Cor- 
neha Beekman. (Benjamin Beekman and his wife Cornelia 
were first cousins.) 

An old Dutch Bible printed in Leiden, Holland, in 1663, and 
which was kept at the old Beeckman Homestead on the Rari- 
tan river until the death of Mrs. Cornelia Beekman, and since 
in the possession of Rev. John S. Beeckman, contains entries of 
the births and deaths of Hendrick Beeckman's children, except 
the child Lydia (57), who is mentioned in " Pearson's First Set- 
tlers of Albany."

ADRIAAN QUACKENBOSCH lived first in Albany, and 
then in Schaghticoke where he acquired property in 1719 as 
appears in the following minute from the records of the Com- 
mon Council of Albany : 

Att a comon councill held in the City hall of Alb. the 26 
of May 1719, Adriaan Quackenbos, appearing, desired ye 
comonalty that they will be pleased to dispose unto him twenty 
morgen of meadow land and ten morgen of wood land in 
Schaahkook, on ye north side of the creek. 

The Council accordingly resolved to : 
Clear and discharge the land from ye pretentions ye Indians 
have to therein, and then to grant the said Adriaan the refusall 
thereof. 

The city sold this property to him on the 29th of May follow- 
ing, for which he was to pay 190 pounds " current money of 
New York, with conditions to pay yearly thirty bushells of 
winter wheat." It was stipulated that he could not transfer 
any of this land without the consent of the Common Council. 
In May, 1731, it is recorded that : 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 35 

This day appeared in Common Council Adejan Quackenbosh 
and offered to sell the land in his possession at Schaghkook to 
the Common Council, according to the tenor of his indenture ; 
but they not thinking mete to purchase the same have unani- 
mously agreed that said Adejan have leave to sell some to 
Daniel Kittlehuyn. 

The " Indenture between Adrian Quackenbos and Daniel Ket- 
elhuyn " is now in the possession of Miss Clarisse Jane Ackart 
of Stillwater, N. Y. It is dated Aug. 1, 1732, and conveys the 
original tract of 40 morgens for a consideration of four hun- 
dred and twenty pounds current money of the Colony of New 
York. 

Adriaan Quackenbosch is named in the " Annals of Albany " 
as a " Freeholder of Schaatkooke, 1720."

I have found the record of Antony Quackenbush as a 
lieutenant in one of the colonial companies in New York 
colonial manuscripts. Tie clew that led me to find this (for it 
was not in our indexes, as the index includes only the captains 
of companies) was in recent report of Hugh Hastings, the 
State Historian, in which he gives the names of colonial sol- 
diers.

The following anecdote, suggesting the " Courtship of 
Miles Standish," is related of David Quackenboss : 

David, the eldest son of Pieter Quackenboss (11), after a 
somewhat romantic courtship, married Miss Ann, a daughter 
of Captain Scott, and settled on Scott's patent, where the 
Montgomery County Poor House now stands. 

A young officer, under the command of Captain Scott, re- 
quested young Quackenboss, then in the employ of the captain, 
to speak a good word for him to Miss Ann, which he readily 
promised to do. While extolling the good qualities of her ad- 
mirer, he took occasion to suggest his partiality for her him- 
self. The maiden, who had conceived an attachment for 
Quackenboss instead of the young subaltern, shrewdly asked 
him why he did not make advances on his own account. He 
had not presumed on so advantageous a match ; but the hint 
was sufficient to secure his fortune and happiness. 



83. RACHEL QUACKENBOSCH, 

daughter of Pieter (I H ; bp. Albany, Jan. 22, 1715. 

At the close of the French war of 1744-48, efforts were

The following anecdote is related of Pieter Quackenboss, 
in Mrs. Ellet's "Women of the Revolution": 

Pieter Quackenboss was among the early settlers of the 
[Montgomery] County, and did not escape the difficulties. He 
was a trader with the Indians, who placed great confidence in 
him, frequently consulting him. They were disposed to bestow 
on him some particular mark of regard, and after meeting for 
consultation, they decided on giving him the name " Otsego" 
and christening the lake for him. The ceremony of naming 
both him and the lake was performed by pouring liquor upon 
his head as he knelt on the ground, a portion being afterwards 
poured into the water. It is probable that few are acquainted 
with this origin of the name of Otsego Lake ; but that family 
tradition has been confirmed by the recollection of some who 
witnessed the occurrence.

JOHN S. QUACKENBUSH is the subject of the following 
anecdote, related in B. J. Lossing's ** The Hudson " : 

Tradition says a tragedy was enacted at Sandy Hill more 
than a century ago, some incidents of which remind us of the 
story of Capt. John Smith and Pocahontas. The time of the 
tragedy was during the old French War, and the chief actor 
was a young Albanian, son of Sybrant Quackenbush. The 
young man was betrothed to a maiden of the same city ; the 
marriage day was fixed, and preparations for the nuptials 
were nearly completed when he was impressed into the mili- 
tary service as a wagoner, and required to convey a load of 
provisions from Albany to Ft. William Henry at the head of 
Lake George. He had passed Ft. Edward with an escort of 
sixteen men under Lieut. McGinnis of New Hampshire and 
was making his way through the gloomy forest at the bend of 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 61 



the Hudson when they were attacked, overpowered and dis- 
armed by a party of French Indians under the famous par- 
tisan Marin. The prisoners were taken to the trunk of a 
fallen tree and seated upon it in a row. The captors then 
started toward Ft. Edward, leaving the helpless captives 
strongly bound with green withes, in charge of two or three 
stalwart warriors and their squaws. In the course of an hour 
the party returned. Young Quackenbush was seated at one 
end of the log, and Lieut. McGinnis next him. The savages 
held a brief consultation, and then one of them with a glitter- 
ing tomahawk went to the end of the log opposite Quackenbush 
and deliberately sank his weapon in the brain of the nearest 
soldier. He fell dead upon the ground. The second shared 
a like fate, then the third and so on until all were slain but 
McGinnis and Quackenbush. The tomahawk was raised to 
cleave the skull of the former when he threw himself suddenly 
backward from the log and attempted to break his bonds. In 
an instant a dozen tomahawks gleamed over his head. For a 
while he defended himself with his heels, lying upon his back, 
but after being severely hewn with their hatchets, he was 
killed by a blow. Quackenbush alone remained of the seven- 
teen. As the fatal steel was about to fall upon his head, the 
arm of the savage executioner was arrested by a squaw, 'who 
exclaimed, "You shan't kill him ; he's no fighter ; he's my dog." 
He was spared and unbound, and staggering under a pack of 
plunder almost too heavy for him to sustain, he was marched 
toward Canada a prisoner, the Indians bearing the scalps of his 
murdered fellow-captives as trophies. They went down Lake 
Champlain in canoes, and at the first Indian village, after 
reaching its foot, he was compelled to run the gauntlet between 
rows of savage men armed with clubs. In this terrible ordeal 
he was severely wounded. His Indian mistress then took him 
to her wigwam, bound up his wounds and carefully nursed him 
until he was fully recovered. The Governor of Canada ran- 
somed him, took him to Montreal, and there he was employed 
as a weaver. He obtained the Governor's permission to write 
to his parents concerning his fate. The letter was carried by 
an Indian as near Ft. Edward as he dared approach, when 
he placed it in a split stick near a frequented path in the for- 



62 GENEALOGY OF THE 



est. It was found, was conveyed to Albany and gave great joy 
to his friends. He remained in Canada three years, when he 
returned, married his affianced, and died in Washington County, 
1820.

HARMON QUACKENBUSH lived in the old Quackenbush 
Homestead at Schaghticoke (now owned by John A. Quacken- 
bush), except for a brief period in 1777, when, with other resi- 
dents of that neighborhood, he was compelled to retire to 
Albany for safety, as Gen. Burgoyne's invading army approached 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 63 



from Canada. Fearing the pillagers who invariably accom- 
panied the army at that time, Harmon saved such articles of 
personal property as he could not carry with him by burying 
them a short distance from the house. After Burgoyne's sur- 
render at the Battle of Stillwater, which was fought within two 
miles of the Quackenbush Homestead, Harmon returned with 
his family to Schaghticoke, and there spent the remainder of 
his days, figuring prominently in the Dutch Reformed Church. 
His great-granddaughter, Miss Clarrisse Jane Ackart, of Still- 
water, has now in her possession an old Dutch pulpit Bible, 
which Harmon Quackenbush purchased from the church long 
ago. Although bearing the date 1745 it is in an excellent state 
of preservation, and contains precise family records written by 
Harmon and his son Jacob (423).

The following anecdote is related of Isaac Quackenbos in 
Sim's History of the Border Settlers : 

Isaac Quackenbos was under Col. Harper near the Susque- 
hanna, as believed, in 1778 ; when happeninp^ to be alone, he 
discovered five Indians sitting on a log mending their mocca- 
sins. He was under the cover of a tree within gun-shot of 
them, his gun being loaded with a bullet and four buckshot. 
He supposed that if he fired on them they would naturally 
conclude that he was not alone and his temerity construed 
rightly. He fired, and two of them fell and the surviving three 
ran off, and he ran too, though in the opposite direction. He 
obtained assistance, returned and found the two dead warriors 
and the moccasins the party were mending. 

This incident was communicated by John S. Quackenbos, a 
nephew of Isaac, and corroborated by Isaac Collier, a fellow 
soldier of Quackenbos at the time. 

ISAAC QUACKENBOS was appointed Lieutenant of the 
5th Tryon Co. Regiment, March 3rd, 1780.

3 daughters, one of whom was Mrs. Wimple, of Syracuse, and another 
Mrs. Ellen McKnight, of Havana, N. Y. 

NANCY QUACKENBUSH is spoken of at length in Mrs. 
Elizabeth F. Ellet's " Women of the Revolution," Vol. Ill, p. 
328. The following anecdotes are related of her : 

Miss Quackenbush was distinguished among the women 
of her neighborhood not only for remarkable beauty of person 
and a fine voice, but for her intellectual superiority, her more 
cultivated manners, and a certain pride of bearing common in 
some of the more ancient families. She had the influence over 
all with whom she associated inseparable from a strong charac- 
ter, was looked up to by all her youthful companions and so 
generally admired that she was for some years known as the 
belle of the Mohawk. ***** 

In the spring of 1780 the Indians appeared eager to 
wreak vengeance on the unoffending inhabitants. While the 
enemy, stationed at Johnstown, were laying waste the coun- 
try, parties continually going about to murder the inhabitants 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 69 



and burn their dwellings, the neighborhood in which Mrs. Van 
Alstine (Nancy Quackenbush) lived remained in comparative 
quiet, though the settlers trembled as each sun rose lest his 
setting beams should fall on their ruined homes. Most of the 
men were absent, aud when at length intelligence came that 
the destroyers were approaching, the people were almost dis- 
tracted with terror. Mrs. Van Alstine called her neighbors 
together, endeavored to calm their fears and advised them to 
make immediate arrangements for removing to an island be- 
longing to her husband near the opposite side of the river. 
She knew that the spoilers would be in too great haste to make 
any attempt to cross, and thought that if some articles were 
removed they might be induced to suppose the inhabitants had 
gone to a greater distance. The seven families in the neigh- 
borhood were in a few hours upon the island, having taken 
with them many things necessary for their comfort during a 
short stay. Mrs. Van Alstine herself remained to the last, 
then crossed in the boat, helping to draw it far up on the beach. 
Scarcely had they secreted themselves before they heard the 
dreaded war-whoop and descried the Indians in the distance. 
It was not long before one and another saw the homes which 
they loved in flames. When the savages came to the Van 
Alstine house they were about to fire that also, but the Chief 
interfering, informed them that Sir John would not be pleased 
if that house was burned, the owner having extended civilities 
to the Baronet before the commencement of hostilities. "Let 
the old wolf keep his den, " he said, and the house was left un- 
molested. The talking of the Indians could be distinctly heard 
from the island, and Mrs. Van Alstine rejoiced that she was 
thus enabled to give shelter to the houseless families who had 
fled with her. The fugitives, however, did not deem it prudent 
to leave their place of concealment for several days, the smoke 
seen in different directions too plainly indicating that the work 
of desolation was going on. The destitute families remained 
at Van Alstine's house until it was deemed prudent to re-build 
their homes. ***** 

Mrs. Van Alstine by her influence over the Indians per- 
suaded many of them to attend service and would interpret to 
them what was said by the minister. Often their rude hearts 



70 GENEALOGY OF THE 

were touched, and they would weep bitterly while she went 
over the affecting narrative of our Redeemer's life and death, 
and explained the truths of the Gospel. Much good did she in 
this way and in after years many a savage convert to Chris- 
tianity blessed her as his benefactress. 

Mrs. Van Alstine died in 1831, at Nampsville, Madison 
Co., New York, having retained her mental faculties to the 
last. According to her wish her Dutch books were buried with 
her ; she feared they might be regarded as rubbish.

QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 75 

After the war James Quackinbush engaged in the dry 
goods business, probably retiring in 1803, when he purchased 
a large farm on Murray Hill, adjoining the John Murray prop- 
erty. This farm, for which James Quackinbush paid $12,700, 
contained more than 15 acres, and included most of the land 
now bounded by Lexington and Madison avenues, 38th and 
41st streets. The old homestead, subsequently destroyed by 
fire, stood near the centre of the property, near the present 
site of the Murray Hill Hotel, at Park avenue and 40th street. 
In those days the Boston Post Road, after branching off from 
the Bloomingdale Road at what is now Madison Square, skirted 
the easterly side of the "commanding height of Inclenberg, " 
or Murray's Hill, and was much used by the city residents 
while taking their favorite drive, the "Fourteen Miles Round." 
" Inclenberg, " the country seat of Robert Murray, was the 
nearest house to the southward of James Quackinbush's 
Homestead, and stood at what is now 36th street and Park 
avenue. It was at Inclenberg that " Mrs. Murray's wit and 
Mr. Murray's wine " saved Putnam's army from destruction on 
Sept. 15, 1776, when the victorious British officers, feeling con- 
fident that the ragged Continentals were entrapped, tarried at 
Mrs. Murray's table, thus enabling Aaron Burr to guide Put- 
nam's troops to the present Longacre Square, where Washing- 
ton met them, galloping down from his headquarters at the 
Apthorpe Mansion. 

James Quackinbush acquired the Murray Hill farm on Aug. 
5, 1803, taking title from Thomas Cooper, Master in Chancery, 
Daniel McCormick and Charles Smith, Trustees, and occupied 
the same until his death, Jan. 17, 1842, when it was divided 
into building lots and sold for $150 each. His heirs lived to 
see this property become the most fashionable residence sec- 
tion of New York City, the lots commanding almost fabulous 
prices but a few years later. 



70 GENEALOGY OF THE 



The first marriage of James Quackenbush occurred at 
Schraalenberg, N.J, on Christmas Day, 1783, just one month 
after the evacuation of New York by the British troops, when 
he was wedded to Leah Demarest of that place. The Rev. 
Solomon Froeligh performed the ceremony, and the records of 
the Schraalenberg Dutch church contain the following entry 

of the marriage : 

(Date missing)— "Jacobus Quackenbos y. m. [young man], 
born at Tappan, res. N. Y. and Lea Demarest y. d. [young 
daughter], b. and living at Schraalenberg." 

Leah Demarest was one of triplets baptized at Schraalen- 
berg, June 27, 1764. She was of the fifth generation descended 
from' David des Marest (b. at Beauchamp, France, about 1620) 
and Marie Sohier, who arrived in this country with a small 
band of Huguenots, April 16, 1663, on the ship " Bontekoe " 
{" Spotted Calf ") and settled in New Jersey. (" The Hugue- 
nots on the Hackensack, " by Rev. David D. Demarest, D. D.) 
Her grandfather, Benjamin Demarest, was one of the original 
members of the Dutch Church of Schraalenberg, and was very 
prominent, holding the office of Deacon and Elder successively, 
and other offices as well. Her parents were David Benjamin 
Demarest and Marrytie Ackerman. 

Leah Demarest died in 1805, and James Quackinbush mar- 
ried Margaret Fake, widow of Romeyn. 

According to the records of the Harsenville, now Bloom- 
ingdale. Reformed Dutch Church, James Quackinbush was a 
Deacon from 1824 to 1830, and an Elder from 1830 to 1840. 
He died two years later in his 84th year.

The following notice is from Talcott's "New York and 
New England Families" : 

Col. Henry Quackenbush was a provincial officer in the 
British Army under Lords Amherst and Abercrombie during 
the French and Indian War. He was engaged in the attack on 
Crown Point and Ticonderoga, and was with Lord Howe when 
he was shot by the Indians. Daring the Revolutionary War he 
was Chairman of the Albany Committee of Safety, and mem- 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 83 

ber of the Colonial Legislature. He was appointed Captain, 
and then 1st Major of the 3d Albany County Regiment, Octo- 
ber, 1775, and succeeded Garret Van den Bergh as Colonel of 
the 5th Albany Regiment in 1778. He was wounded when in 
command of his regiment in the last attack of the American 
troops led by Gen. Arnold against the British at Saratoga, 
and commanded the guard of 200 men who brought Gen. Bur- 
goyne to Albany after the last battle, where he— Gen. Bur- 
goyne — was confined in the house of Gen. Schuyler in the south 
part of the city. (Col. Quackenbush's daughter said the sol- 
diers encamped in front of their house, and wine and refresh- 
ments were brought them by her father's orders.) Colonel 
Quackenbush received an autograph letter from General Bur- 
goyne thanking him for kindness and attention shown him 
while a prisoner. After the war Col. Quackenbush was one of 
the Presidential Electors. 

The following references to the private character of Col, 
Quackenbush are selected from a memoir entitled "A Few 
E\ents in the Life of Col. Henry Quackenbush," written by 
his great-grandson, Henry Quackenbush Hawley : 

A great name in history, as we all know, is built up much 
more from fortunate opportunity than from real merit. In 
fact, the true heroes of the world are seldom the men it delights 
to honor, but rather those who, from the force of circum- 
stances, pursue a simple and retired life, practicing virtue and 
self-denial, because it is their nature so to do, and without the 
stimulus of applause, acting nobly and tenderly and generously, 
because they are genuine men. 

It is these qualities, and not the bubble reputation, that 
makes God's noblest work, a true gentleman. And such was 
Col. Henry Quackenbush, in all that justly makes that charac- 
ter ; in courage, in integrity, in lofty sentiments and personal 
honor, in rugged strength, in tenderness of heart, in pure love 
of country, he was a marked man, even in the time he lived — 
now a century ago — when the country was young, and engaged 
in the fearful struggle we call the " Revolution." He was then 
a very prominent private citizen of Albany, the Chairman of 



84 GENEALOGY OF THE 



the Committee on Public Safety, and pre-eminent in social life. 
Many a time have I listened with intense interest to anecdotes 
of his life and character, related by his daughter [Mrs. Anna 
Lansinj^ (559) ], my grandmother, and so illustrative are they 
of simple manliness of character, that J can never recall them 
without a feeling of personal pride that I am descended from 
so noble a gentleman. 

As we all know, anecdotes of adventure lose much when 
not related by an actor in the scenes described ; I cannot, there- 
fore, give to what I remember of my grandmother's recollec- 
tions of her father, anything like the interest with which she 
clothed them, but 1 so much desire that my children may have 
the benefit of what I can remember, that I give it here in the 
hope that it will be regarded by them as it is by me. 

There are now in Albany but three or four dwelling 
houses representing the old architecture of the city. Two of 
these, the Lansing residence, on the corner of Broadway and 
Quackenbush street (in which I was born), and the building 
now known as the Pemberton house (in which my mother was 
born), were in Col. -Quackenbush's family. In the former of 
these he resided, and in the latter his son-in-law, Jacob I. Lan- 
sing (my grandfather). He was then a rich man, and his house 
was ever open to sustain the hospitalities of the city. "Many 
a time," my grandmother used to say to us children, as we 
clustered around her in the old house, " when a girl have I seen 
the entire Senate dine at this house." And I remember with 
what wonder I used to listen to her descriptions of the venison 
and game of all kinds, which persons dealing with her father 
used to bring him in great abundance, some in exchange for 
store goods, and others as tokens of regard, and of the number 
of slaves in the kitchen (young and old there were eighteen), 
and how each one had a separate duty. That was, of course, 
after the war had ended. Col. Quackenbush was then an ex- 
tensive merchant, having embarked in a new business, to re- 
gain from commerce what he had given to his country in its 
time of need ; and for nothing should he be held in higher 
honor in times like these than for that sacrifice. " It never 
caused him a single regret," said my grandmother. ''It was 
for his country", he said, "and, if necessary, he would doit 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 85 



again." And yet, what he did was to loan the government, 
when it was in despair and without credit, sixty thousand dol- 
lars in gold, returned to him after the war in Continental 
money, repudiated afterwards by Congress. And I remember 
well, when a boy, seeing a great chest in the garret of the old 
house filled with that money, then as worthless as rags. It 
was a great injustice, but perhaps at the time a necessity, as 
the bills had been so extensively counterfeited that to redeem 
them was beyond the resources of the nation. 

What I have related above gives a good illustration of 
Col. Quackenbush's position after the war. That his success 
did not harden his heart is so well illustrated by the following 
anecdote of that time that I will give it here. He then owned 
large tracts of land in the wilderness of northern New York, 
some parts of which he had sold, receiving the consideration 
partly in money and partly in obligations upon time. Being so 
distant, these lands were in charge of an agent, and it was their 
owner's custom to visit them only at prolonged intervals. On 
one of these occasions, before reaching his own land (as he 
thought), he came to a log house, recently erected, before 
which were people bidding, and the sheriff selling the furni- 
ture of the settler, as its unfortunate owner lay within with 
a deadly fever. " Who," said Col. Quackenbush when he was 
informed of the particulars above given, "is the man who can 
do so heartless a thing ? " " Oh ", said the relator,." he is a rich 
man. He lives away in Albany ; what does he care ? " 

" But his name," replied Col. Quackenbush, "his name?" 

"It will do no good," said the man. " There is no help. 
He is hard and selfish. But if you want his name, it is Col. 
Henry Quackenbush." 

This reply, so unexpected, for a moment kept Col. Quack- 
enbush in speechless surprise. Then, springing from his horse, 
he rapidly made his way to the sheriff. 

"What means this proceeding?" he sternly said. "By 
whose order do you this cruel thing?" 

" Who are you ? " said the sheriff, " to interfere with the 
law? I am but doing my duty." 

"I, am Col. Quackenbush of Albany ; you must know my 
agent. Here are his letters to me, but he says nothing of this.

Stop this sale." Then turning to the people present, he added, 
" My friends, this sale is a mistake. In the name of humanity, 
I ask you to recall your bids and your money will be returned." 
It was so done, and then Col. Quackenbush entered the house. 
He found the unfortunate debtor, haggard with fever and ap- 
parently in hopeless trouble, lying helpless upon a straw bed, 
while his wife, with her little children gathered about her 
knees, was weeping bitterly near him. 

*' My friend," said he, " I thank God for bringing me here 
this day. I knew nothing of this sale. It is stopped. Have 
no fear. I am Col. Qaackenbush. Take courage and get well. 
Here is something to help you in your time of need." And 
taking out his pocketbook, he gave him a sufficient sum to sus- 
tain his family during the interval of recovery. 

" I may never be able to pay you," sobbed the poor settler. 

" You will, you will," said Col. Quackenbush, " but if not, it 
will be well. Have no care for that." 

For the credit of humanity, I am able to add that long 
after, a man, vigorous and in perfect health, came one summer 
day to the Quackenbush mansion and inquired for its owner. 

" I see you do not remember me," he said. " I am the man 
you saved from ruin [naming the time and place], and I have 
come to pay my debt ! " And he laid down a bag of gold to the 
full amount in arrears. 

The above is an unusual case, but my grandmother often 
said that when friends needed wise counsel, or a good cause 
needed assistance, her father was always chiefly relied upon, 
from the esteem in which the city held him. And it was the 
same when distinguished strangers came. They were sure to 
visit the Quackenbush mansion, and not the least interesting of 
my grandmother's recollections was the description she gave 
us of those visitors. I can recall the picture now. It was very 
quaint in its simplicity— a circle of dignified men in knee- 
breeches, silk stockings, and silver shoe-buckles, and decorously 
smoking long Dutch pipes while the fire blazed brightly in the 
wide chimney, and the well-remembered silver tankard was 
passed around foaming with warm spiced ale. Probably there 
was not much talk — something of the weather, of the state of 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 87 



the country, of the war, perhaps— but nothing unmanly, sel- 
fish, or base. 

What I have related of Col. Quackenbush while leading 
a prosperous but unostentatious life after the Revolution, in- 
terestt' his descendants from the evidence it affords that their 
ancestor was a true gentleman. That he was also a brave and 
resolute man is apparent from the following adventure, while 
he was in the Federal army, as Colonel of the Albany Regi- 
ment. 

While serving in that capacity under Gen. Gates, he was 
ordered to take a batteau and make a reconnoissance upon the 
Lake (Champlain), to ascertain the position of the British 
ships. Accordingly he started as soon as it was dark, his men 
rowing with muffled oars. As he had been much engaged dur- 
ing the day, he instructed his men where to go, and then lay 
down, closing his eyes that he might not be distracted while 
thinking over his instructions. And thus matters remained for 
some time, the men silently rowing and their officer apparently 
sleeping. In the meantime, the boat having drawn near to the 
British line, the men stopped rowing and (thinking the com- 
mander asleep) began to whisper together. 

" The Colonel is asleep," said one of them. " For one, I am 
tired of being starved. Now is our chance. Why not ? " And 
they shipped their oars, and hurriedly debated what they 
should do with their officer. He was not asleep, however, but 
heard all that was said ; and when the time for action arrived, 
he sprang to his feet, and seizing a stout boat-hook, fortu- 
nately at hand, knocked the leading traitor from the boat. 
Then, drawing a pistol, he said sternly, "The man that speaks,' 
or stirs, dies." For a moment the men looked uncertain, when 
seeing in his eyes that he would do what he said, and the man 
overboard having risen and seized the side of the boat, crying 
for mercy, they also asked for it, and swore vehemently that if 
he would forgive them, they would be true as death. " Well," 
said Col. Quackenbush, " I will trust you. Take in your com- 
rade, but mark me. the man that in any way betrays us to the 
enemy, I will kill ; now row." And the men, completely cowed, 
obeyed silently, and the reconnoissance was safely made. 



88 GENEALOGY OF THE 

By a curious coincidence, Col. Quackenbush again met 
the same party after the army was disbanded. As his way 
homeward took him to another station of the army, to which 
Gen. Gates desired to transmit a large sum of money, he re- 
quested him to take charge of it. This he agreed to do, and 
while on his way, through a lonely road in the forest, he sud- 
denly came upon a party of men bivouacked around a camp fire. 
Seeing a solitary horseman approaching, they rose hurriedly 
and separated, apparently to intercept him. This suspicious 
action for a moment caused Col. Quackenbush to hesitate, but 
it bemg the habit of his life to meet danger when it came face 
to face, he boldly rode up to the party. And the event proved 
he was right, for when the men recognized him they shouted 
together, " It is the Colonel. God bless you, sir, and its mighty 
glad we are to see you." 

" And so am I to see you, boys. Where are you going ?" 

" Well, Colonel, it's happy we'd be to go with you. Sure 
we'd be true to you. We'd follow you to hell." 

" But I'm not going that way, boys, so we'll have to part. 
There are a few dollars to help you on ; good bye, and don't for- 
get that your country needs good men and true. Be such ; 
good bye." 

" Good bye. Colonel," said the leader. " Three cheers for 
the Colonel," and as long as he was in sight the forest rang 
with the huzzas." * * * 

Colonel Quackenbush was not only a strong and brave 
man, but also of fine presence, being over six feet in height. 
The picture I have of him (a copy of a portrait by Stewart, I 
think) my grandmother said was an excellent likeness. If it 
is we have occasion to be proud of his appearance, as all the 
lines show it was that of a gentleman. * * * 

There is a family tradition that Col. Quackenbush re- 
ceived an autograph letter from Gen. Washington, which was 
borrowed by a relative and never returned. 

Henry Quackenbush held many public offices, as a member 
of Assembly, etc. He died February 2, 1813, and a monument 
marks his grave in the Albany Rural Cemetery, bearing the 
following inscription :

WOUTER or WALTER QUACKENBOSS, of New York 
City, was an ardent " Son of Liberty " and figured conspicu- 
ously in the defense of the Liberty Pole, which had been set up 
on the Common to commemorate the repeal of the Stamp Act. 
Many attempts on the part of the British troops to destroy this 
emblem of liberty had been thwarted by the " Sons," which so 
irritated the British that they caused a scurrilous placard to 
be printed and posted in public places, assailing the " Liberty 
Boys " individually and collectively. Referring to this incident 
the "New York Journal and Advertiser" of March 1, 1770, re- 
lates the following : 

Mr. Isaac Sears and Mr. Walter Quackenboss, seeing five 
or six soldiers going toward the Fly Market, concluded they 
were going to put up some of the above papers. Upon the 
former's coming to the market, they made up to the soldiers 
and found them as they had conjectured, pasting up one of the 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY gj 



papers. Mr. Sears seized the soldier that was fixing the paper, 
by the collar, and asked him what business he had to put up 
libels against the inhabitants, and that he would carry him be- 
fore the Mayor. Mr. Quackenboss took hold of the one that 
had the papers on his arm. A soldier standing to the right of 
Mr. Sears drew his bayonet, upon which the latter took up a 
ram's horn and threw it at the former, which struck him on the 
head and then the soldiers, except the two that were seized, 
made off and alarmed others at the Barracks. 

A fight between the soldiers and the inhabitants resulted 
which lasted all that day (Jan. 19, 1770, and not Jan. 18, as ap- 
pears on the tablets and in the various histories) and part of 
the next, during which one man was killed and several 
wounded. This fight is known to history as the " Battle of 
Golden Hill," and is commemorated by two bronze tablets, 
placed near the site of Golden Hill (John Street, near William) 
because it occasioned the first bloodshed of the Revolution. It 
thus appears that Walter Quackenbush and Isaac Sears struck 
the first blows in the first battle for Independence. 

Wouter Quackenboss resided in New York City, where 
he died August 5, 1785.

ABRAHAM QUACKINBUSH, son of James and Leah 
Demarest, was born in New York City in 1791. At that time 
the thickly settled portion of Manhattan Island lay south of 
City Hall Park, and the outlying village of Greenwich, which 
had sprung up on the large estate purchased from the Indians 
by Sir Peter Warren, and derived its name from Sir Peter's 
mansion " Greenwich, " was connected with the city proper by 
roads through swamps and open country. One of the principal 
of these roads was called Greenwich street after it entered the 
city, and was a leading business thoroughfare. The house in 
which Abraham Quackinbush was born and lived during his 
earlier years stood near this street on Fair, now Fulton Street,

and he was fond of telling that as a boy and young man he 
often hunted in the neighboring meadows, which covered the 
area now bounded by Lispenard and Spring Streets, Broadway 

and the North River. 

About the year 1803 the family removed to the Murray 
Hill property, where it is presumed that Abraham Quackinbush 
lived at the breaking out of the War of 1812, when he offered 
his services to the Government. He was then in his 21st year, 
and his services being accepted he was commissioned ensign in 
the regular army, and assigned to recruiting duty. His first 
station was on Governor's Island, New York Harbor, from 
whence he was transferred to Fort Gansevoort, a newly estab- 
lished post between the foot of West 12th and Gansevoort 
streets. This fortification, long since destroyed, was built on 
land purchased by the Government in July, 1812, and sold to 

the city in 1850. 

From the rank of ensign Abraham Quackinbush was rap- 
idly advanced until he reached the grade of First Lieutenant, 
the official record of his service, as communicated by the War 
Department being as follows : 

WAR DEPARTMENT, 
ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE. 
* * * Abraham Quackinbush was appointed En- 
sign, 6th Infantry, January 13, 1813 ; promoted 3rd Lieutenant, 
6th infantry, March 12, 1813 ; 2nd Lieutenant, April 1, 1813 ; 
1st Lieutenant, June 30, 1814. 

He served with his regiment in the defences of New York 
Harbor February, 1813, to June, 1814 ; in the right wing of the 
Northern Army, on the Canadian Frontier, to January, 1815 ; 
and at Plattsburg, New York, to June 15, 1815, when he was 
discharged upon the reduction of the Army to the peace estab- 
lishment, under the act of March 3, 1815. 

(signed) W. P. Hall, 

Assistant Adjutant General. 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 101 

Abraham Quackinbush was assigned to Captain Wool- 
worth's Company of the 6th U. S. Infantry, and joined the 
army at the Northern Frontier, where he figured in the mem- 
orable Battle of Plattsburg, fought September 11, 1814, when, 
after an hour's furious fighting, the British vessels, although 
vastly superior to Commodore McDonough's fleet in number 
and quality, were forced to strike their colors, x^braham 
Quackinbush, witnessing this action from the shore, first drew 
the attention of General Macomb to the British surrender. 
Concerning the engagement of the land forces in this battle, 
Captain Walter Bicker, a fellow officer of Lieutenant Quackin- 
bush's, has written : " In the afternoon of September 11, 1814, 
the veteran troops of ¥/aterloo, the flower of the British Army, 
quailed, 10,000 strong, before the American army of 1,500 
regular troops and some 3,000 raw militia recruits, and 
marched back to Canada, whence they came in great pomp, 
threatening wonders." 

Lieutenant Quackinbush remained in the military service 
until the end of the war, when he was honorably discharged. 

He was married March 25, 1818, by the Rev. Christian 
Bork, pastor of the Franklin Street Reformed Dutch Church, 
to Sarah McLaren, daughter of Daniel McLaren and Sarah 
Stowe. Sarah McLaren was born at 163 Broadway, New York 
City, June 27, 1792. Her father was a native of Comirie, 
Perthshire, in Scotland, and a descendant of the Clan Mac- 
Lauren. According to a family tradition, he arrived in New 
York City on Evacuation Day, having passed the retiring Brit- 
ish troops in the harbor, but it has not been possible to verify 
this tradition, as all of the marine records of that time were 
destroyed by fire when the British captured V/ashington in 
1814. It is known, however, that Daniel McLaren was in New 
York in 1784, as on June 15 of that year he acquired a half 
interest in a plot of ground, 25x100 feet, on lower Broadway, 
paying 400 x\merican pounds ($1,000) for his share. This prop- 



102 GENEALOGY OF THE 



erty, still a part of the family estate, is now known as No. 163. 
Later he built a residence in Chatham Square, which is now 
standing. He died at 108 Bleecker Street in 1826, leaving 
three children, Vashti (or Vesta), Daniel and Sarah. 

For a short time after his marriage Abraham Quackinbush 
was engaged in the dry goods business in Greenwich street, 
but retired in 1826, and moved to Bleecker street, which was 
then " up town." After his father's death in 1843, the farm 
on Murray Hill was divided into lots and sold, and Abraham 
purchased four lots fronting on 41st street, paying in the ag- 
gregate $600 for the property. Some years later, however, 
fearing he might never realize more than he gave for it, he 
sold it at auction for the amount originally paid, and consid- 
ered himself fortunate in not having to sacrifice any more than 
the amount of the taxes and the interest on the investment. 
In 1851 he purchased, and occupied during the remainder of 
his life, a large house surrounded by land which extended from 
86th to 87th streets, between Second and Third avenues. In 
the immediate neighborhood were the country seats of the 
Fanshaws, Rutters, Astors, Rhinelanders and other families of 
prominence. 

While never taking an active part in politics, Abraham 
Quackinbush was, in his earlier years, an ardent Andrew Jack- 
son Democrat, but afterwards became a Republican, and his 
last vote was cast for Hayes and Wheeler in 1876. He was 
always proud of his connection with the army, and was one of 
the original members of the Military Society of the War of 
1812. During the Civil War he read the news with great in- 
terest, and frequently expressed the regret that he was not 
young enough to join the Union Army himself. 

About the year 1867 Abraham Quackinbush became a 
member of the Prospect Hill Reformed Church, in Yorkville, 
of which his son Daniel was the pastor. He died March 12th, 
1877, and the funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Dr.

the Presbyterian Church on 86th street. The remains were

on both sides from Holland, and than which in either of those 
cities is there any other more respectable. 

And in her case especially, blood told. I am sure her 
granddaughters, Mrs. Lord, Mrs. Van Santvoord, and Mrs. 
Freeman will bear me out in that. They will remember with 
what dignity she always met the duties of life, enjoying what 
it gave her of its good, and when reverses came, meeting them 
bravely and cheerfully, and they will recall, with loving mem- 
ories, the sweet composure, the gentle face, and the tender af- 
fection with which she always received us, when we went to 
see her. 

At that time she resided in the old mansion, on the corner 
of Broadway and Quackenbush Street [Albany] and usually 
received us in the rear sitting room, and as she appeared one 
day she appeared always — the black silk dress, the frilled cap, 
the lace around the neck, the white kerchief folded across the 
breast and fastened in front with an antique brooch. It is all 
before my eyes as if printed on the air. Yes ! just as she was 
then I can see her now, seated in a low sewing chair and knit- 
ting stockings for some of us children, while she told us of her 
father, of incidents of the Revolution, when the city was sur- 
rounded with palisades, which perhaps you do not know, 
crossed Broadway (then Market Street) about half way be- 
tween Quackenbush and Orange streets ; of how the Indians 
appeared, when bands of them in their war paint and shouting 
the fearful war whoop, passed the city on their way to join 
Gates in the North, and more than all, of the terror and confu- 
sion in every household, when, hearing that Burgoyne was ad- 
vancing upon Albany, the people loaded batteaux with their 
most precious goods to escape by the river, and of the relief 
when a second messenger from the army brought the news that 
instead of being defeated, our army had won a victory, and 
Burgoyne haa surrendered. * * * 

Nor must I forget, what impressed me even as a boy, that 
grandma was never apart from, but always of, the company in 
which she was. With young and old it was always the same. 
To both ages she was equally agreeable, and it is easy to per- 
ceive why. There was never any gloom in her face, nor irri- 
tation in her manner. * * *

when his various business enterprises necessitated constant travel. 
Among his most successful ventures was the establishment 
of the Empire Powder mills at Fair Haven, Vt. At his death, 
which occurred Jan. 1, 1881, it was written of him : 
"Pieter Quackenbush inherited all the marked and distin- 
guishing characteristics of his ancestors. He was not am-

bitious of official honors, preferring the quiet life of a citizen 
to the turmoil and strife of politics. He was in the truest and

DANIEL McLaren QUACKENBUSH, D. D., eldest son 
of Abraham Quackinbush and Sarah McLaren, was born March 
9, 1819, at 130 Chatham Street, New York City. The house in 
which he was born was built by his grandfather, Daniel Mc- 
Laren, on property acquired in five separate parcels between 
the years 1803 and 1807— and is still in the possession of the 
family. 

About the year 1821 the parents of Daniel and the Mc- 
Laren household removed from Chatham to Orange Street, and 
shortly after to Greenwich Street near Fulton. Although very 
young at the time, Dr. Qaackenbush recalls several notable 



122 GENEALOGY OF THE 

events which occurred while he lived in Greenwich Street, among 
others the visit of General Lafayette to this country as the na- 
tion's guest, and his landing at Castle Garden, Aug. 16, 1824, 
when he was given a grand reception. Daniel was present on 
that occasion, a child of five years, and remembers grasping 
one finger of the hero's hand. He also witnessed the elaborate 
display of fireworks in celebration of the Navarino victory, and 
the great procession which passed through Greenwich street at 
the opening of the Erie canal in 1825. From Greenv/ich Street 
his parents removed in May, 1826, to 108 Bleecker Street which 
was then considered very far "up town." 

At an early age Daniel entered the High School in Crosby 
Street, near Broome, where Professor Griscom., a noted Quaker 
scholar of that day, was the superintendent. The High School 
was under the management of a society of New York citizens, 
of which Gulian C. Ver Planck was the president, and num- 
bered among its pupils Captain James Lawrence, U. S. N., who 
fell on board the " Chesapeake " ; Judge Roosevelt and Daniel 
Lord of the New York Bar, and the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, vice- 
president of the United States during the administration of 
General Grant. Robert Carter, Esq., who had been principal of 
the Classical Department, opened a private school at Grand 
Street and Broadway when the High School ceased to exist, 
which he eventually left to enter his long career as a publisher 
and book-seller. It was at this school and under Robert Car- 
ter's direction that Daniel completed his preparatory studies. 
He entered the Sophomore class of Columbia College in 1833, 
and graduated in 1836, at the age of seventeen. During the 
next three years he studied at the Theological Seminary of the 
Reformed Dutch Church at New Brunswick, and in 1840 was 
licensed by the Associate Presbytery of New York, On Oc- 
tober 20 of the following year he took his examination for 
ordination at Cambridge, New York, and was installed Decem- 
ber 2, 1842, by the Presbytery of Cambridge, as pastor of the 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 123 

Associate Presbyterian Church at West Hebron, Washington 
Co., New York, where he remained six years, 1841-47. A pres- 
ent resident of Hebron, who first united with the church dur- 
ing the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. Quackenbush, recalls him as 
" a very young man at that time, boyish in appearance, exces- 
sively diffident and unassuming ; a fine preacher, but noted in 
those days for his short sermons." 

Shortly after assuming this charge the Rev. Mr. Quacken- 
bush was married to Miss Adriana Suydam at the Suydam resi- 
dence. No. 158 Waverly Place, New York City. The wedding 
took place May 11, 1842, the Rev. Dr. Abraham Polhemus, a 
cousin of the bride, officiating. Miss Suydam was the daughter 
of Lambert Suydam and Ann Eliza Lawrence, and was born 
January 18, 1822. 

In the year 1845 the Rev. Mr. Quackenbush accepted an 
unusual missionary service in the west, his own church in West 
Hebron being cared for in his absence by the pastors of the 
neighborhood. The service which he undertook in that early 
year took him through Philadelphia and Baltimore, and over 
the Alleghany mountains by stage to Pittsburgh ; then to Cin- 
cinnati by the Ohio river, and from Cincinnati to Xenia on 
the Little Miami railroad. His own description of this part of 
his journey v/ell illustrates the primitive methods of the pio- 
neer railroads : 

When the train started from Cincinnati the cars were 
drawn to the upper level by four mules each, encouraged by 
two stout colored men with hickory gads. On the upper level 
the locomotive was attached, it not being trusted to go down 
the hill into the city for fear it might never get up again. 
After a run of a few miles the train was stopped where a man 
was seen sawing wood with a buck-saw. Here the passengers 
all turned out to help throw the pile he had accumulated on the 
tender, wood being the only fuel used. After a leisurely con- 
versation about the crops, etc., the conductor suggested an- 
other start, and we re-entered the cars. A few miles further 



124 GENEALOGY OF THE 



on the train stopped again, evidently for the purpose of allow- 
ing one of the passengers to visit a farm house on the opposite 
side of a forty acre lot, where he transacted some private busi- 
ness. When he returned, taking his own time, we started once 
more, and towards evening reached Xenia. 

At Xenia the Rev. Mr. Quackenbush was entertained in 
old-time fashion by Major Gallaway, who showed him over his 
fields where for forty years he had raised successive crops of 
corn. Some of these fields of corn were given up to the hogs 
in the fall, who ate what they chose and trampled the rest into 
the ground. When they were taken out to the slaughter the 
next generation of hogs were turned into the fields, and rooted 
up what the others had trodden into the soil. 

From Xenia the Rev. Mr. Quackenbush continued his trav- 
els down the Ohio river to St. Louis, and from St. Louis to 
Galena, a thriving city at that early day, and the headquarters 
of the lead mining industry. His missionary service at this 
place being accomplished, he procured an Indian pony and dur- 
ing the next three months visited several needy churches and 
stations to the south of Galena. He then started homeward, 
crossing the State of Illinois by stage— as there vv^ere at that 
time no railroads in the State— and after riding two days and 
one night reached Chicago, where as yet there were no brick 
or stone buildings. From Chicago he went by way of Lakes 
Michigan and Huron to Detroit, and returned home along the 
Niagara river, having been absent from March to September, 
during which time he lived much in log cabins and shared the 
rough existence of the western frontiersmen. 

In 1849 the Rev. Mr. Quackenbush accepted a call to the 
Warwarsmg Church at Napanoch, an old Dutch church organ- 
ized in the middle of the last century. Here he remained for 
two years, his removal in 1851 having been hastened by the 
death of his wife, which occurred on March 15, of that year. 
The following letter relative to the death of Mrs. Adriana 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 125 

Suydam Quackenbush appeared in the columns of the " Chris- 
tian Intelligencer " at the time : 

Napanoch, Ulster Co., N. Y. 
March 17, 1851. 
Mr. Editor : 

Our church and congregation have been deeply affected by 
the death of Mrs. Quackenbush, the wife of our pastor, on Sat- 
urday, the 15th inst., leaving (with her husband) three little 
orphan children. 

We feel, but cannot express, the extent of this bereave- 
ment, so many tender ties have been broken. 

The kindness of her heart, the discretion and the consist- 
ency of her Christian character, enabled her to adorn her sta- 
tion, and having died as she lived, she has left us the only 
consolation that can compensate for such a loss. The strength 
of her friendships, the gentleness and sincerity that character- 
ized her intercourse with the congregation, help us in some de- 
gree to realize the desolation of a home deprived of such a wife 
and such a mother. 

Yesterday was a Sabbath of intense interest and solem- 
nity. The Rev. William Cruikshank, an intimate friend of the 
family of the deceased, left his own congregation to serve ours, 
and soothe our afflicted pastor. His own feelings were in uni- 
son with ours ; and in the course of the two appropriate and 
impressive sermons derived from the Word of God substantial 
comfort and consolation to many broken hearts. 

Our excellent pastor, almost exhausted by long weariness 
and anxiety, and bowed down under the weight of so heavy an 
affliction, was yet able to present his tender infant for baptism 
during the morning service. Who can describe such a scene ? 
—the presence of God speaking peace to his soul, and support- 
ing him by His everlasting arm. 

At the close of the services the consistory adopted the fol- 
lowing resolutions : 

Resolved, That we have heard with deep regret of the 
death of Mrs. Adriana Suydam Quackenbush, the wife of our 
beloved pastor, and sincerely sympathize with her husband and 
family in their great affliction, that we shall ever cherish the 
most affectionate and endearing recollections of her life and 



126 GENEALOGY OF THE 

character, and trust that God will overrule this dark dispensa- 
tion of His providence for the promotion of His glory, and will 
abundantly sanctify to our dear pastor and his orphan children 
an affliction which we have no language to describe and which 
human sympathy cannot remove. 

Resolved, That in testimony of respect for our departed 
friend, the members of this consistory will convey her remains, 
in company with her husband and family, to her father's 
house in the City of New York, and will attend her funeral 
there. 

Resolved, That a copy of the minutes of this meeting be 
furnished to the Rev. Mr. Quackenbush, and that he be respect- 
fully requested to gratify the desire of the consistory, as ex- 
pressed in the last resolution. 

This morning the remains of Mrs. Quackenbush, in charge 
of the officers of the church, accompanied by her husband and 
children, her mother and sister, and a solemn procession, left 
our desolate parsonage. 

Imagine, my dear sir, the sadness of our hearts, and while 
you share our griefs rejoice with us in the consolation of the 
gospel, and thank God that our dear departed friend was 
spared to us so long, rather than murmur that she was taken 
away so soon. 

Affectionately yours, 
G. 

This notice was written by the Hon. Gabriel W. Ludlum, 
an Elder of the Napanoch Church. 

The Rev. Mr. Quackenbush's next field of labor was at 
Fishkill-on-Hudson, New York, where he served as pastor of 
the Reformed Dutch Church from 1851 to 1855. An historical 
sketch of this church published in the ** Christian Intelli- 
gencer " of December 25, 1895, contains the following refer- 
ence to Dr. Quackenbush's pastorate : 

The Rev. Daniel McLaren Quackenbush was the third pas- 
tor. He graduated at Columbia College and the Theological 
Seminary at New Brunswick, N. J. His pastorate extended 
from 1851 to 1855. He came with rare endowments of m.ind 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 127 

and heart, and entered upon his duties with great zeal. At the 
outset he succeeded in procuring funds to remove a large debt 
that had long burdened the congregation. His ministry was 
most successful, and infused into the church new life and 
vigor. He still, after these many years, is held in fragrant 
and blessed memory in this, the field of his early labors. 

From Fishkill the Rev. Mr. Quackenbush went to Brooklyn 
and became the associate of his special friend Dr. Bethune, the 
pastor of the Church on the Heights. His missionary labors 
in connection with the chapel of this church extended over a 
period of three years and terminated in 1859, when he was 
called to the Reformed Dutch Church at Hastings-on-Hudson. 
Here he remained until January 1, 1861, and then assumed his 
present charge, the Prospect Hill Reformed Church, New York 
City. This church was organized in 1860, the first services 
being held in a small hall at the corner of 86th Street and 3rd 
Avenue. During the first 3- ear a temporary building was 
erected on 3rd Avenue between 87th and 88th Streets, but 
with the increasing congregation it became necessary to pro- 
vide other accommodations, and in 1867 the church edifice on 
85th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues was purchased. Ser- 
vices were held in this building for nearly twenty years, when 
the consistory purchased a large plat of ground at the north- 
west corner of 89th Street and Park Avenue. Dr. Quacken- 
bush's services in the Prospect Hill Reformed Church have 
been largely gratuitous, and on the approach of his thirtieth 
anniversary as pastor the Consistory adopted the following 
resolutions at a meeting held September 16, 1890 : 

Whereas, The Rev. Dr. Quackenbush began his pastorate 
over this church on January 1, 1861, and the close of this year 
will close thirty years of his service in the Gospel among us, 
therefore 

Resolved, That it is eminently proper that so long a con- 
tinuance of life and labor among us should have recognition. 



128 GENEALOGY OF THE 

Resolved, That Elder W. G. F. Slover is hereby appointed 
to report to Consistory on this subject. 

At a meeting held October 13, 1890, the Committee re- 
ported the following Resolution, which was adopted : 

Resolved, That the Rev. Dr. Quackenbush be requested to 
make, from sermons preached by him to our congregation, se- 
lections sufficient to form a small printed volume, which may 
serve as a memorial of his protracted pastorate, and the profits 
from the sale of which may aid our church in its present neces- 
sity. 

It was further resolved "that Elders Allen and Slover be 
appointed a committee with power to carry out the purpose of 
the Consistory in this matter." 

A hmited edition of these volumes was issued in 1891, and 
was immediately disposed of for the benefit of the church. 

Dr. Quackenbush has traveled extensively, most of his 
journeys being undertaken when traveling was very difficult, 
owing to poor facilities. In 1858 he visited Charleston, Savan- 
nah, Montgomery, Mobile and New Orleans, returning by way 
of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. His first trip abroad was 
undertaken in 1865, when he embarked for Liverpool with his 
two sons, Lambert S. and Abraham C. During a stay of eleven 
months he visited France, Italy, Austria, Svs/itzerland, Ger- 
many, Belgium, Holland, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, 
the longest stops being made in Rome, where he spent seven 
weeks, and in Naples, Paris and London. 

In 1869 he visited Washington, Richmond and Petersburgh 
to observe the effects of the war. In 1874 he again went 
abroad, visiting Paris, where he remained nearly three months, 
while the ravages of the Franco-Prussian war were still very 
visible. His third trip to Europe was in the year 1883, when 
the entire time was spent in London. 

Dr. Quackenbush received the Degree of Doctor of Divin- 
ity from the University of the City of New York in 1863.

SAMUEL G. VAN NORDEN was in the United States 
Naval Service, and aboard the U. S. Brig " Somers " during 
the mutiny of 1842, at which time he remained loyal to the of- 
ficers of the ship. The crew of the " Somers " was composed 
largely of boy apprentices from the schoolships, several of 
whom, under the leadership of a midshipman, organized a plot 
with the purpose of murdering the officers and seizing the ves- 
sel. But the plot was revealed by the purser's steward, and 
three of the ringleaders were immediately hanged as a result 
of a trial by court martial. This summary proceeding on the 
part of the commanding officer. Captain Mackenzie, evoked a 
great deal of criticism at the time, and it was not until the fol- 
lowing year that a Court of Inquiry fully and honorably ac- 
quitted him by deciding that his action was justifiable and in 
the interest of discipline.

QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 137 

PETER QUACKENBUSH in his maternal (Demarest) line, 
comes from an original French Huguenot family, resident in 
the Colony of New Jersey at a period almost as early as when 
his paternal ancestor established himself in New York. 

He received his education in the public schools of Pater- 
son and in Prof. Allen's Academy. In 1860 he engaged in em- 
ployment as clerk in the dry goods store of John C. Van Der- 
voort. In 1878 he embarked in the dry goods business for him- 
self at No. 180 Main Street. In 1882 the firm of Quackenbush 
& Company was organized, Mr. John B. Mason being admitted 
as a partner, and in 1901 Mr. Quackenbush's son, William Dixon 
Quackenbush, was admitted as a third partner. 

The Quackenbush & Company store is the principal dry 
goods establishment in the city of Paterson, having developed 
into what is termed a Department Store in 1896. Its reputa- 
tion is of a kind corresponding to that enjoyed by the popular 
shops of New York and other large cities. Its success has al- 
ways been of the solid order — the result of intelligent enter- 
prise and management ; reliable service to the public and a 
reciprocal popular appreciation which has been constant in its 
development. 

Mr. Quackenbush, as the most successful merchant of Pat- 
erson in the line of trade which, probably more than any other, 
engages the interest of the general public, naturally occupies 
a personal position of especial prominence in the community. 
But the mere prominence which his character as a popular 
merchant confers upon him does not by any means represent 
his actual position as a citizen. This position is one of the 
greatest public spirit, the highest usefulness and the broadest 
activity. He has uniformly, how^ever, preferred to exercise his 
influence in modest ways. He has frequently been offered op- 
portunities for political preferment, but has declined them in 
every case. The only public office which he has held is that of 
member of the Board of Education, in which he served for 



138 GENEALOGY OF THE 



two years, finally resigning on account of the pressure of his 
private affairs. 

He was one of the leading spirits in the movement which 
resulted in giving Paterson its fine system of public parks. He 
was also a member of the Park Commission, on which Board he 
served four years. 

He has held the position of Vice-President of Paterson 
Board of Trade, and in 1900 was elected President of the Pat- 
erson Business Men's Association, an office which he resigned 
in 1901. He was elected a member of the Board of Directors 
of the Second National Bank in 1890 and has served continu- 
ously until the present time (1909). He was active in organiz- 
ing the Citizens' Trust Company and served as a director the 
first year of its existence. He is prominent and earnest in 
church work being a leading member and one of the officers of 
the Broadway Reformed Church and for many years has been 
a member of the Board of Education of that denomination. 
For many years he has been a member of the Board of Direc- 
tors of the Paterson Young Men's Christian Association and 
also the Paterson Young Women's Christian Association and 
for ten years he was Director and President of the Paterson 
Rescue Mission. For the last few years he has been President 
of the Charity Organization Society in which he takes great 
interest. 

He was married June 6, 1876, to Sarah Amelia Quin, 
daughter of Mr. William D. Quin, a former prominent citizen 
of Paterson and at one time its postmaster, under President 
Buchanan.

After graduating from the Medical College he studied in Lon-

Brigade Surgeon of the brigade commanded by Gen. Pellisser, 
afterwards Duke of Malakoif, and served in the French cam- 
paign in Northern Africa against the Algerians. He subse- 
quently visited Nubia and ascended the Nile, later on making a 
prolonged visit to Jerusalem and other cities of Palestine. He 
was at Alexandria in Egypt during a cholera epidemic, and at- 
tended many of the victims, with happy results. During the 
cholera epidemic in New York, 1849, he attended Bellevue 
Hospital. He was honorary physician of the New York Dra- 
matic Fund Association from its organization to the time of his 
death, also a member of the County Medical Society ; the 
County Medical Association ; the Parisian Medical Society ;the 
Medical Journal Association ; a Fellow of the Academy of

wonderful statuettes of Demiosthenes and Caesar which he ob- 
tained at Pompeii.

GEORGE PAYNE QUACKENBOS was born in the city 
of New York, Sept. 4, 1826. At an early age he was placed at 
the grammar school of Columbia College, where his studies 
were directed by the late Dr. Anthon. He entered Columbia 
at 13, and graduated with honor in 1843, taking the English 
Salutatory. After a year passed in North Carolina, he com- 
menced the study of law in his native city, but, finding it un- 
congenial, he gave it up after eighteen months, and resolved 
to make teaching and literature the profession of his life. In 
1847 he established the Henry Street Grammar school, and, al- 
though it was situated in a district that was rapidly deteriorat- 
ing, he raised this institution to an enviable rank among the 
private schools of the city. Here he remained for eight years, 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 147 

when he accepted an offer of partnership from the late WilHam 
Forrest, the oldest principal in New York, whose Collegiate 
School had for more than forty years enjoyed the highest 
reputation. After three years Mr. Forrest withdrew, and Prof. 
Quackenbos became the sole head of this flourishing institu- 
tion. Under his management its efficiency and reputation 
were fully maintained, while its sphere of usefulness was 
largely extended. Hundreds of young men passed through his 
hands, and hundreds in every walk of life, commercial and pro- 
fessional, can bear witness to his unremitting care and thor- 
ough training. As a teacher he was eminently successful. 
His discipline was a judicious mixture of the suaviter in modo 
with the fortiter in re ; perhaps his pupils thought at the time 
that the fortiter was rather in excess. Perfect obedience and 
hard work were the keynotes to which he sought to attune his 
school ; being on hand early and late, not shrinking from the 
drudgery of teaching himself, ever ready to explain difficul- 
ties, and seeking to establish that personal influence on which 
the higher success of the educator so largely depends. He has 
the satisfaction of seeing many of his old scholars satisfactor- 
ily filling positions of honor and usefulness ; among them we 
may name Governor Woodford, whom he prepared for college. 

Mr. Quackenbos was actively engaged in school duties for 
about twenty years, by which time his book interests had be- 
come so large, and the labors connected therewith so engros- 
sing that he retired from teaching, and has for the last six 
years confined himself to literary work. Of his labors in this 
department, on which his reputation principally rests, it is 
time we should speak. 

A taste for literature led Mr. Quackenbos at an early age 
to become a contributor to various magazines and newspapers, 
and in 1848 he projected a weekly paper, the *' Literary Ameri- 
can," which, after he had conducted it for two years, became 
merged in a musical paper, the " Message Bird." He subse- 
quently formed for short periods other editorial connections, 
and in 1853, during the Crystal Palace Exposition, w^as the reg- 
ular New York contributor of no less than 24 daily and weekly 
newspapers in different parts of the country— all this, it will be 
remembered, while he was at hard work from six to seven

remark, a short time since, that he had been confined to bed by 
sickness but one day within the last thirty-five years. 

But it is his school books that have made Professor Quack- 
enbos known throughout the length and breadth of the land. 
The earliest of these was his "First Lessons in Composition," 
published in 1851. It was suggested by the difficulty which he 
found in teaching his scholars to make a practical use of their 
lessons in grammar, in enabling them by the systems then in 
vogue to express themselves fluently and elegantly, and acquire 
such readiness in composition as is necessary to every one in 
the business of life. He saw that there was something m.ore 
needed than the old-fashioned parsing and analysis, and sought 
to infuse life into the dry bones of etymology and syntax. In- 
stead of taking apart, he taught the learner in this book to 
build up ; without referring to the technical details of gram- 
mar, he led the youthful beginner unconsciously to a familiar 
acquaintance with its practical applications. 

This little book was, in fact, the germ of the " Language 
Lessons " of the present day. It had a remarkable success ; it 
clothed with interest what had before been dry ana repulsive ; 
it taught how to speak and write correctly, as no grammar had 
done. It was at once largely introduced, and, despite several 
close imitations of it (even in title) by subsequent authors, it 
has maintained its place in the schools, and is probably used at 
the present day more largely than all other text books on com- 
position put together. More than 400,000 copies have been 
printed. As a further evidence of its popularity, we may add 
that it was reprinted in the Confederate states during the late 
war. 

The unprecedented success of this first book led to the 
preparation of the " Advanced Course of Composition and 
Rhetoric " in 1854. This was a manual of academic or collegi- 
ate grade, in which it was aimed to present a variety of sub- 
jects, all connected and having a common bearing on the mas- 
tery of our language, but which, as usually treated of in a 
number of different text books, were apt, amid the multiplicity 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 149 

of academic studies, to a greater or less extent to be neglected. 
Before the appearance of Quackenbos's Rhetoric there was no 
single volume from which the learner could get an insight into 
the origin and peculiar characteristics of our language, taste 
the pleasures of the imagination, style, criticism and figures ; 
together with practical instruction in punctuation and the 
niceties of composition. Here was a book that contained the 
substance of Blair, Kames, Burke, Akenside, Addison and other 
standards, condensed in a reasonable space and brought down 
to the level of the dullest comprehension. It met a want, and 
its success was immediate and permanent. With such a text 
book, rhetoric could be made an attractive as well as useful 
study ; and many institutions in which it had before been un- 
known introduced it as a regular branch of their curriculum. 

A general call from parties who used the " First Lessons " 
and "Rhetoric " induced the author to compile his comprehen- 
sive work on " English Grammar " (1862), and " First Book in 
Grammar" (1864). These books have been very generally 
commended for their terseness of rule and definition, their 
fullness of illustration, their simple and natural treatment of 
the subject, their explanations of perplexing constructions, 
their saving of labor to the teacher, and their remarkable 
adaptation to the class room. They completed the series on 
language. 

Meanwhile, Professor Quackenbos had been engaged by 
the Messrs. Appleton to edit the Paris edition of Spiers's 
French Dictionary. This great work (1,300 pages octavo) cost 
him sixteen months of the severest labor. There was need of 
despatch, for an American edition of the same book had also 
been advertised by another house, and its editorial care in- 
trusted to Dr. Anthon, whose unflagging industry and capacity 
for brain work were proverbial. It may well be supposed that 
Mr. Quackenbos felt some trepidation in being thus pitted 
against the eminent scholar who for seven years in school and 
college he had reverenced as his teacher ; but he went at the 
work with an energy that insured success, distancing his com- 
petitor so far in point of time that on the appearance of his 
edition the rival house, finding the market forestalled, aban- 
doned the enterprise and destroyed the plates that had been 



150 GENEALOGY OF THE 

made. (Dr. Anthon is himself the authority for this state- 
ment.) From sixteen to eighteen hours' labor a day was no 
uncommon thing with Mr. Quackenbos, while this work was 
going through the press. Spiers's book was thoroughly cor- 
rected, the pronunciation was added, a number of new features 
were introduced, with numerous phrases and idioms, and 4,000 
French words gleaned from general literature or belonging 
to scientific nomenclature. Quackenbos's addition of Spiers 
has remained to this day the standard French Dictionary. 

We have little space left in which to speak of the remain- 
ing books of our author. There are few, we imagine, to whom 
they are not well known. His United States Histories, so dif- 
ferent from the dry compilations, whose name is legion, have 
charmed many a class, and done much to promote a taste for 
general historical reading among the young. Professor Clif- 
ford thus happily hits off their distinctive feature : " Mr. 
Quackenbos," he says, "selects the prominent points, and 
weaves them into an easy narrative that attracts the young 
mind with much of the charm of a fairy tale or of Robinson 
Crusoe ; yet in no instance does he violate historical truths to 
add zest to the story." 

A Natural Philosophy appeared from Mr. Quackenbos's 
pen in 1859. His latest works are the Arithmetics of Apple- 
tons' Mathematical Course. These books are marked by the 
same merits and have met with the same success as their pre- 
decessors. They take nothing for granted, proceed inductively 
by gradual advances from what is known to what is unknown, 
and show even to the casual examiner that they are the work 
of one who has studied the youthful mind, and knows how to 
remove difficulties that are likely to be its stumbling block. 

In connection with Quackenbos's school books two things 
are noticeable : 1. That they have all been successful— he has 
never made a miss ; 2. That they cover a wide range of sub- 
jects. This by no means implies a wonderful versatility or 
variety of accomplishment in their author, but simply that he 
understands how to make a good school book. The same char- 
acteristics of mind, the same qualities of style, the same 
knowledge of what is needed in the school room, that enabled 
him to prepare a good rhetoric, have also enabled him to pro- 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 151 

duce good histories and good arithmetics. The making of 
school books, as the " Methodist Quarterly Review " once re- 
marked, is his proper vocation. 

An interesting incident which occurred two winters since 
is worthy of narration. At a reception given to Professor Tyn- 
dall, a mutual friend introduced Mr. Quackenbos to Mori, the 
Japanese Minister. " What name ? What name did you say ? " 
asked Mori, as he heard the Dutch patronymic of our friend. 
It was repeated. " Ah ! " exclaimed Mori, " that is a name well 
known in Japan." Mr. Quackenbos was naturally curious to 
to learn the meaning of this remark ; and on inquiry it ap- 
peared that several of his different text books had found their 
way to " the sunrise kingdom" with the first Japanese ambas- 
sadors that had visited this country, had there been translated 
by an eminent native educator, and were used as manuals in 
the government schools. 

We omitted to say that Mr. Quackenbos received the de- 
gree of L.L. D. from Wesleyan University — a fitting honor to 
one who in the amount of literary labor performed has been 
surpassed by few men of his years. We have not been able to 
gather many incidents worth recording in his career, for he 
has led the quiet, uneventful life of a student ; but he certainly 
has cause to look back with satisfaction on his labors in the 
cause of education. The results he has achieved show how 
much can be accomplished by a rigid economy of time and a 
determined purpose to make the most of every moment. 
(From Appleton's " Educational Notes," August, 1881.) 

George Payn Quackenbos died July 24, 1881. The im- 
mediate cause of his death was disease of the heart, from 
which he had been suffering for some time, but doubtless his 
death was hastened by the shock resulting from a painful acci- 
dent with which he met at New London earlier in the month, 
when he was thrown from his carriage, causing a fracture of 
the leg and other severe injuries.

COMMODORE STEPHEN P. QUACKENBUSH entered 
the United States Navy as midshipman Feb., 1840. His first 
cruise was in the Sloop of War " Boston " around the world, 
and since he has been actively engaged in duties pertaining to 
his profession. He participated in the naval engagement at 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 155 

Vera Cruz during the Mexican War, serving on board the Sloop 
of War " Albany," as Passed Midshipman. At the breaking 
out of the Rebellion, he was a lieutenant on board the U. S. 
Frigate " Congress," flagship of the Brazilian Station. When 
war was declared the " Congress " returned home and during 
continuance of the war he was actively engaged commanding 
the following vessels, viz : Delaware, Unadilla, Mingoe, 
Pequot and Patapsco, which vessel was blown up by a torpedo 
off Fort Sumpter, and out of a crew of 104, 61 men were lost 
and 7 officers out of 12. While commanding the " Unadilla " 
off Charleston Harbor he captured the blockade runner " Prin- 
cess Royal," a most important acquisition to our government, 
as she was intended for a cruiser in the Confederacy, and had 
on board steam engines for an iron-clad, Whitworth guns, 
powder, shot and shell in large quantities, and also a machine 
for cutting steel-pointed shot. This was one of the most im- 
portant captures for our government that occurred during the 
Rebellion, and the loss to the Confederate government cannot 
be estimated. From the sale of this vessel and cargo, the 
Treasury gained nearly one-quarter of a million dollars. 

While in command of the steamer ** Pequot " Commodore 
Quackenbush captured the blockade runner (steamer) **Don," 
having blankets for the Confederate troops. His services in 
the sounds of North Carolina were recognized and appreciated 
by Flag-Oflficer Goldsborough and General Burnside, as also by 
Vice-Admiral Rowan, then Captain, whose flag he carried on 
board of the "Delaware," which ship Commodore Quacken- 
bush, then Lieutenant-Commander, commanded in the battles 
of Roanoke Island, Elizabeth City and Newbern. (Talcott's

176 GENEALOGY OF THE 

JOHN DUNCAN QUACKENBOS was graduated A. B. 
from Columbia College, N. Y., in 1868, and received the degree 
of A. M. from the same in 1871. He commenced the study of 
medicine in 1867, in New York City ; attended three courses 
of medical lectures at the College of Physicians and Surgeons 
in the City of New York, together with hospital practice and 
summer terms, and was graduated M. D. in 1871. He com- 
menced the practice of his profession the same year in New 
York City. He is a member of the New York Academy of 
Medicine, New York Academy of Science and of the American 
Fisheries Society. He was adjunct professor of the English 
language and literature at Columbia College 1884 ; professor 
of rhetoric at the same college since 1891, and professor of 
rhetoric at Barnard College for Women 1891-93. In 1894 he 
took a course in study at the Post-Graduate Medical College of 
New York City. 

Professor Quackenbos's medical work has been encroached 
upon by other scientific and literary labors. The literary en- 
gagements of his father, Dr. G. P. Quackenbos, the well known 
author, renders it necessary for him to devote a large portion 
of his time to the editing of educational books ; and the death 
of his father, in 1881, cast upon him a weight of responsibility 
and labor under which he completely broke down and was 
compelled to seek relief in foreign travel. 

Dr. Quackenbos is himself the author and editor of four- 
teen standard works. Those especially associated with his 
name are: A "History of the World," 1876; a "History of 
Ancient Literature," 1878 ; " Appleton's Geographies," 1880-81 ; 
a " History of the English Language," 1884 ; a " Physical Geo- 
graphy," 1887 ; a " Text-book on Physics, on a New Basis," 
1891 ; Dr. Quackenbos is also well known as a lecturer on sci- 
entific and literary subjects, and is to be credited with having 
brought to public notice, through literary channels, the pres- 
ence of a fourth charr, in New England waters, viz.: the so- 
called Sunapee Lake trout, or American Saibling. His literary 
contracts having been largely concluded and his twenty-four 
years of college instruction having come to an end, he will de- 
vote himself to private medical practice. He has recently 



QUACKENBUSH FAMILY 177 

established a summer sanitarium at Sunapee Lake, New Lon- 
don, N. H., to which he will give his personal attention. (From 
" Physicians and Surgeons of America.")

CHARLES H. DAVIS was born in Cambridge, Mass., 
Aug. 28, 1845. He entered the Naval Academy in 1862 and 
graduated in 1865. He went immediately after graduating on 
his first cruise,, which was to the Mediterranean, in the " Colo- 
rado," the flagship of Admiral Goldborough. In 1867 he went 
on his second cruise to South America, where he was ordered 
to the " Guerriere," the flagship of his father. Admiral Davis. 
On the return of the " Guerriere " in 1869 he was transferred 
to the " Portsmouth " and remained another year on the South 
Atlantic squadron. During this cruise he was promoted to the 
rank of lieutenant. 

He returned to South America in 1870, and was attached 
to the receiving ship " New Hampshire " at the Norfolk navy 
yard. In 1872 he went in the " Omaha" to the Pacific squad-

EDWIN B. QUACKENBUSH is a grandson of the late G. 
V. S. Quackenbush, who in 1824 founded the wholesale and re- 
tail dry goods establishment bearing his name, at Troy, N. Y., 
and who was one of the wealthiest and most successful busi- 
ness men of this state. He is a member of the New York 



180 GENEALOGY OF THE 

State Bar, to which he was admitted after a careful training, 
first at the Albany Law College, and subsequently in the law 
office of his father, Edwin Quackenbush, an honored member 
of the Van Rensselaer and of the Saratoga County Bar Associ- 
ation. He served a term of four years as a magistrate in 
Saratoga County, being then twenty-two years of age and the 
youngest magistrate in the history of this state. 

In 1898 he entered the service of the Mew York Casualty 
Company as general agent, and in 1901 was made superinten- 
dent of agents, being elected to the position of general mana- 
ger of the company in May, 1902. 

In 1903 he resigned as general manager of the New York 
Casualty to accept a position as superintendent of the Personal 
Accident Department of the Ocean Accident & Guarantee Cor- 
poration, Limited. He continued as superintendent of that 
department until 1905, at which time the "Ocean," being 
desirous of more actively developing the territory in the vicin- 
ity of its American head office, Mr. Quackenbush was selected 
to take personal charge of the Metropolitan Accident, Health 
and Burglary Departments of the corporation, including agency 
supervision in New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island. 

The success of Mr. Quackenbush is a logical one. The 
agents and brokers like his energy, promptness, good nature 
and contracts. He provides them with exceptional facilities 
and assistance, makes sure that their customers' claims are 
paid promptly and protects them in the renewal of their busi- 
ness, believing that the Accumulation provision of an accident 
policy is for the purpose of holding the business, on renewal 
for the agent originally writing the line and not for the benefit 
of another agent, who at renewal time endeavors to "switch " 
it away from the agent originally placing same.
